Cadabra Design Automation Brings a Little Magic to DAC with the Library Factory; Library Factory Speeds Library Creation While Improving Chip Quality.Business Editors & High Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 31, 2000 Cadabra Design Automation Inc., the leading provider of automated layout creation tools for chip designers, today announced they will demonstrate their new Library Factory(TM) flow at the Design Automation Conference this year in booth No. 3129 at the Los Angeles Convention Center The Los Angeles Convention Center (abbreviated LACC) is a convention center in downtown Los Angeles. The LACC hosts annual events such as the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show, and was best known to video games fans as host to E3 until its cessation in 2006. . The automated Library Factory flow speeds the creation of high-quality integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC) cell libraries. It combines Cadabra's automated layout creation tools with third-party parasitic extraction and model generation tools from Cadabra's Alliance partners Cadence, Library Technologies Inc., OEA OEA Organizacion de Estados Americanos (OAS in English) OEA Organização dos Estados Americanos (Portuguese: Organization of American States) OEA Office of The Employment Advocate International, Silicon Metrics Corp., Silvaco International and Synopsys. To help put some magic in the DAC See D/A converter and discretionary access control. DAC - Digital to Analog Converter experience, a magician will perform in Cadabra's booth while he shows attendees how the Library Factory helps "crank `em out." While the Library Factory cranks out libraries, the magician will explain the benefits of Cadabra's automated layout creation tools and attempt to saw his assistant into "cells!" Chip designers and library developers are invited to the Cadabra booth to see a demo, get a prize, and see how Cadabra's customers and partners view the new and improved Library Factory flow. Testimonials include Numerical Technologies Numerical Technologies, Inc. was a San Jose, California, USA based EDA public (NASDAQ: NMTC) company, previously knowns as Transcription Enterprizes. On March 3, 2003 it was acquired by Synopsys. , Silicon Metrics, Synopsys, LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip.

About the Library Factory The Library Factory flow from Cadabra delivers an automated solution for developing high-quality, error-free libraries in a very short time. The flow is based on layout creation tools from Cadabra. Customers can use either in-house tools for parasitic extraction and model generation, or tools from the Cadabra Alliance partners. The Library Factory flow also includes a flexible licensing model from Cadabra that addresses customers' needs for peak-demand and time-based licenses. About Cadabra Cadabra is the leading supplier of tools for the creation of layouts of cells used in the standard cell, semi-custom, and custom IC design process. Cadabra's tools help users achieve high productivity in the generation of very high quality standard cell layouts. Current worldwide customers include top semiconductor vendors, third party library vendors, and leading fabless semiconductor companies A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. in the graphics and communications markets.
