Augmenting the comprehensive Titan Mixed-Signal Design Platform, Titan ALX and Titan AVP are part of a unique set of plug-and-play analog design solutions known as the Titan accelerators. Based on breakthrough analog design technology, and featuring dramatic new capabilities and compatibility with existing analog tool flows, the Titan accelerators deliver an order-of-magnitude productivity improvement for analog/mixed-signal layout designers.
Titan ALX automatically migrates an existing analog layout to a new target technology without any DRC violations while preserving analog design intent. Titan AVP creates fast and accurate device-level prototypes and captures layout-dependent proximity effects early in the circuit design phase. Early visibility into parasitic R and C, as well as proximity effects such as shallow trench isolation (STI) stress, well proximity effect (WPE), oxide definition to oxide definition (OD-OD) spacing and poly to poly spacing accelerate schematic-layout convergence. Titan AVP also includes a detailed device placement engine that produces a high-quality, DRC-clean layout. The capabilities delivered in these two new Titan accelerators dramatically reduce analog layout creation time.
“The number of chips that use both digital and analog components is increasing. As a result, there’s growing demand for a methodology for creating reusable and portable analog designs,” said Anirudh Devgan, general manager of Magma’s Custom Design Business Unit. With the addition of Titan ALX and Titan AVP to the Titan family, Magma provides high-productivity analog design layout tools that allow chipmakers to build differentiated analog products faster, accelerate the adoption of newer process technologies – and ultimately achieve a higher return on design investment.”
