Thalia has announced the qualification of its AMALIA platform for 12nm FinFET technology, marking a significant step forward in analog, mixed-signal, and RF IP design migration.

Thalia Design Automation has introduced advanced analogue schematic porting capabilities within its AMALIA analogue design automation tool suite. Configured for users of TSMC, Global Foundries, UMC, SMIC, and in-house technologies of Tier 1 design companies, the AMALIA schematic porting capability is already proven in analogue migration projects to achieve design time savings of up to 50%.

  Thalia Design Automation and Catena have announced successful completion of their first jointly delivered analogue IP reuse projects. The two companies have worked together to migrate Catena’s WiFi and variants of Bluetooth IP including a low power version, between multiple sub-40nm process nodes and foundry providers.

With the opening of a new engineering centre in Hyderabad, India, Thalia Design Automation has announced a significant expansion of its analogue design engineering capabilities. The new facility will initially be staffed by five experienced analogue designers and EDA (electronic design automation) development engineers. Based on current levels of customer demand, Thalia expects to grow this number to 25 within 12 to 18 months.

  The completion of a $865,000 (£640,000) funding round has been announced by Thalia Design Automation that will allow it to drive market uptake of its methodology solutions for analogue IP (intellectual property) re-use, design migration and derivative creation.
