Mentor Graphics ICanalyst Embraced by DENSO for Reuse of Analog Circuit Resources

Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced that
DENSO Corporation has adopted the Mentor® ICanalyst™ tool, which is
an analog cell characterization management tool, that allowed them
to substantially reduce datasheet generation work required for
reusing existing analog circuit resources, and facilitates
efficient reuse of circuit blocks. The ICanalyst tool
systematically manages analog cell characterization and helps users
create datasheets.
“Datasheet generation is vital to understanding legacy block
data when engineers reuse the analog circuit blocks. Traditionally,
datasheets must be prepared by summarizing results of temperature,
parameter, and corner model simulations. The extremely costly
verification and generation processes limit the possibility of
circuit reuse and therefore hamper improvement of design
efficiency. At DENSO, we automatically collected the simulation
result and generated datasheets using ICanalyst which resulted that
we are now spending significantly less time and money on such
painful datasheet generation,” said Yoshiki Kuwata, DENSO.
With supporting languages such as Perl and Tcl for customizing
simulation result data in the datasheet creation flow, the
ICanalyst tool enables DENSO engineers to output circuit block
datasheets directly in their original format. The ICanalyst tool
can also use IBM Platform LSF to run simulations on multiple
distributed CPUs, which leads to faster and simplified simulations.
Another benefit is achieved by linking the ICanalyst tool to the
Mentor® schematic editor and wave viewer. Through the integration,
waveform result and circuit diagram images can be automatically
captured for document use without changing their existing schematic
database.
“ICanalyst provides significant productivity improvements for
designers in automating and reporting,” said Robert Hum, vice
president and general manager, DSM division, Mentor Graphics. “This
is especially time-saving for repetitive tasks such as producing
datasheets. ICanalyst has an easy-to-use cockpit from which you can
manage multiple designs and test benches with continual updates on
incremental modifications.”
