Hynix Standardizes on Magma's FineSim Pro and FineSim SPICE for Full-Chip Verification of Large Memory Designs
Magma Design Automation Inc has announced today that Hynix Semiconductor Inc., a leading provider of memory products, has adopted and deployed FineSim(TM) Pro and FineSim SPICE as an integral part of its memory design and verification flow. Hynix standardized on Magma's advanced circuit simulation technology after an extensive evaluation involving a number of commercially available products and many different types of designs. The results of the evaluation demonstrated FineSim Pro's ability to deliver performance 3 times to 4 times faster than competitive products while increasing accuracy.
The Hynix's decision to deploy FineSim Pro and FineSim SPICE for their memory designs highlights the tools' abilities to offer significantly higher capacity and truly scalable multi-CPU performance while delivering silicon-accurate results, said Anirudh Devgan, general manager of Magma's Custom Design Business Unit. With the increased performance offered by FineSim Pro, Hynix can dramatically improve verification throughput, reducing design and manufacturing costs, increasing profit margins and enabling Hynix to reach their time-to-market goals.
