COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May 25th, 2011 – Teklatech®, an industry pioneer in EDA solutions for optimizing digital ASIC power integrity and on-chip noise, today announced the release of version 3.0 of the company’s flagship design automation software FloorDirector®. The release isa manifestation of Teklatech’s vision in the direction of dynamic power integrity (PI) and noise aware IC design. Designers are empowered with control over the noise spectrum of digital circuits. The enhanced tool capabilities allow faster power and noise closure, higher yield and significantly improved predictability in the design process and time-to-market.
“FloorDirector 3.0 is a major leap forward, defining a whole new generation of ASIC design tools, providing valuable design automation capabilities needed in an increasingly mobile and wireless world,” comments Dr. Tobias Bjerregaard, CEO and founder of Teklatech. “PI- and noise-aware design methodologies are becoming strictly necessary, for staying in the lead in a competitive global semiconductor market. The strong interest from a range of major IDMs as well as fabless companies in all geographical markets shows us this beyond a doubt.
”The main focus of the new FloorDirector release has been to provide design engineers with abilities for staying on top of mounting power integrity issues, for bridging the mixed-signal design optimization gap, and for mitigating the growing challenges in EMI- and PI-aware digital design.
Key features made available in FloorDirector 3.0 include:
- Frequency domain noise spectrum optimization (FDO) of digital ASIC designs
- Complete and scalable multi-mode-multi-corner (MMMC) and multi-use-case operation
- Unprecedented ease-of-use for fastest path to PI- and EMI-closure
While Teklatech’s R&D are delivering the highest level of innovation and stability in the FloorDirector design automation software, continuously strengthened relationships with a palette of major backend EDA vendors lead to improved design flow interoperability no matter what platform FloorDirector users are starting from.
