austriamicrosystems adopts Nangate’s Library Creator for digital cell library IP development

Nangate Library Creator is the industry’s most versatile, fully integrated and easy-to-use solution for digital cell library creation and optimization. It is widely recognized as delivering enhanced designer productivity and control in building a wide range of digital cell library IP. Visit booth 1362 at DAC in Anaheim, June 14-16 for a Library Creator demo.

In deploying Nangate Library Creator, austriamicrosystems has increased the effectiveness of its digital IP development teams by enabling them to build digital cell libraries which have enhanced performance beyond the capabilities of commercially available cell libraries. This has greatly enhanced their capability to deliver robust, high performance and energy efficient silicon solutions and also to supply their foundry customers with higher quality IP.

Nangate’s tool suite constitutes a revolutionary new class of EDA solutions that increases the efficiency of digital blocks in complex Mixed-Signal CMOS ICs to levels that were previously only achievable with extensive manual efforts and very large design teams – leading to lower IC power consumption, reduced manufacturing costs and shorter time-to-market.

“Nangate’s Library Creator tool suite has enabled our library development team to develop higher density and performance standard cell libraries than we could obtain externally,” said Thomas Riener, Vice President and General Manager BU Full Service Foundry, at austriamicrosystems. “The tool suite continues to help austriamicrosystems increase the efficiency and significantly reduce the cost of developing digital cell libraries for our specialty analog/mixed-signal process technologies.”

“austriamicrosystems has long had a reputation for producing products and systems with the lowest power consumption and highest accuracy,” said Ole Christian Andersen, President and CEO at Nangate. “We are pleased that austriamicrosystems has selected Nangate’s Library Creator tool suite as their platform of choice to increase IP development productivity and to enable development of the highest performing cell library IP for their own silicon developments and foundry customers.”
