MONROVIA, California – March 30, 2010 – Tanner EDA, the catalyst for innovation for the design, layout and verification of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) has signed a distribution agreement with Kelleher Systems, a New York-based reseller of electronic design automation (EDA) tools. The agreement covers sales of Tanner’s full-flow analog IC design suite, HiPer Silicon, as well as related specialty design tools and services.
HiPer Silicon gives designers a complete analog design flow, from schematic capture, circuit simulation, and waveform probing to physical layout and verification, which is ideal for analog, mixed-signal, RF, and MEMS IC design. The integrated tool suite shares a common architecture and common user interface that is consistent across all tools, resulting in a comprehensive, unified software solution. Over 5,000 customers worldwide use some or all of the HiPer Silicon suite to maximize design productivity in areas such as Verilog-A simulation, device layout acceleration, interactive auto-routing, foundry-compatible physical verification, and parasitic extraction.
“Tanner EDA’s 22-year track record of quality tools and superb customer support aligns perfectly with the needs of today’s IC designer,” said Bob Kelleher, president of Kelleher Systems. “We look forward to helping Tanner EDA bring improved productivity and shorter design cycles to A/MS designers throughout North America.”
Tanner EDA president Greg Lebsack added: “Bob Kelleher has been a powerful force in EDA sales for over 15 years. Our strong value proposition plus Bob’s understanding of the market and excellent track record will be a winning combination for our customers.”
