September 8, 2010

Report SAN JOSE, CA – September 8, 2010

Solido Design Automation today announced that it was ranked the number two company overall based on user response in DeepChip’s annual Design Automation Conference report. The Solido Variation Designer results can be found at http://www.deepchip.com/items/dac10-02.html.

Asked what were the most interesting specific tools seen at DAC 2010, semiconductor designers highlighted the following aspects of Solido Variation Designer, a variation-aware custom IC design product used as an add-on to existing custom design and SPICE simulation tools:

  • Custom IC design analysis across variation effects such as PVT corners, random, environmental, and well proximity
  • 5-10X faster variation analysis than with SPICE simulation alone, with SPICE accuracy
  • Determining device sensitivities to variation, based on impact on design specifications
  • Recommending specific transistor modifications to fix and optimize the design “We are excited to be recognized in John Cooley’s long-standing DAC report, which was first published back in 1994,” said Amit Gupta, President and CEO of Solido Design Automation.

“We are pleased with the positive response to our variation design product, which enables fast, accurate variation-aware design with existing custom IC design tools.”
