Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT), a leader in electronic
design automation, today announced that MagnaChip Semiconductor
Corporation (“MagnaChip”) has adopted the Pyxis® custom IC design
platform and the Mentor® process design kit (PDK) automation
process. MagnaChip is a leading designer and manufacturer of analog
and mixed-signal semiconductor products for high-volume consumer
applications.
With significant growth in the customer base, MagnaChip added
the Mentor Graphics® analog mixed-signal (AMS) design and
verification solution that could handle a high level of
mixed-signal complexity, different levels of design abstraction,
and support multiple CAD tools in an integrated, unified
environment. A key desired attribute was a reliable process for
automating the creation of PDKs that could be easily inserted into
their AMS design and verification flow.
“Pyxis expands our ability to work with multiple vendor tools
with a proven process for automating the creation of PDKs, which is
very important to our customers. With Mentor tools and their
automated PDK creation process, MagnaChip is better positioned to
serve broader customer base and expand businesses for both
MagnaChip and Mentor Graphics,” said Taejong Lee, EVP and General
Manager of MagnaChip’s Corporate Engineering Division.
The basic design components for analog mixed-signal IC design
are delivered in the form of PDKs. Key components of the PDK are
the fundamental building blocks for designing custom circuitry:
transistors, resistors, capacitors, diodes, inductors, etc. PDKs
have various models to represent these devices; functional
verification models for use in simulation, symbols for use in
schematics, parameterized and fixed geometries for use in layout
and physical rules for use in physical verification.
“MagnaChip is a key partner of the deep submicron division of
Mentor and one whose products have a growing importance in the
marketplace,” said Robert Hum, vice president and general manager,
DSM division, Mentor. “We are delighted that they have chosen the
Pyxis custom IC design platform and our automated PDK tools and
flow.”
About Pyxis
The Pyxis custom IC platform includes integrated solutions for
design capture, floorplanning, custom routing,
polygon editing, physical layout, schematic-driven
layout, concurrent editing and chip assembly. To help companies
jump-start their design cycles and cut time-to-market, Mentor and
its foundry partners have developed design kits. These kits include
all the foundry-specific devices and models for use with the Pyxis
custom IC design and platform. The platform supports all common
commercial design kit formats plus numerous customer proprietary
formats. Mentor supports OpenPDK, iPDK and other industry
standards.
