SynCira is developing electronic design automation (EDA) software
in Analog Circuit Design and Layout Synthesis. The company aims to
create an integrated set of software tools to automate the design
implementations of analog circuits, and layouts. The company is
privately held and founded in September 2004.SynCira (booth #2220)
will preview the industries first high-capacity, electrical
performance driven hierarchical analog layout synthesis tool at DAC.
With ease-of-use, fast turnaround, and true concurrent analog design
and layout generation, the analog circuit designers can now generate
analog layouts optimized with 100% constraint satisfaction. Placement,
routing, parasitic extraction, back annotation and GDS-generation are
integrated.

Takumi Technology Corp., a leading provider of DFM solutions, is
previewing two new DFM/DFY products at DAC 2006. Takumi Inspect (TM)
is a layout analysis tool. It detects yield impacting problems in
GDSII layouts that are not found by DRC or DFM rules. Takumi Inspect
under a single environment rates a layout, taking into account
manufacturing problems related to RET (such as OPC), lithography,
random defects, systemic defects, and manufacturing tolerances that
impact yield and robustness. Takumi Enhance (TM) is an automated
physical design optimization system that rates GDSII layouts for
potential failure, prioritizes the failure mechanisms, and uses
advanced optimization techniques to repair the layout against multiple
failure mechanisms to provide hot-spot-free designs.

TurboTools(TM) Corporation is focused on the automation design
process for electrical systems from concept to manufacturing of highly
integrated electronic equipment, mechatronic systems, high-tech
instrumentation, any kind of electromechanical or electrical
equipment, automobiles, aircrafts, etc. With TurboTools' products the
design process of Hardware Electrical Systems (HES(TM)) is equivalent
to an "enlarged microchip" design that avoids potential system failure
later in production. TurboTools' patented interactive enterprise
solutions automatically generate all documentation, automate design,
testing, simulation, and analysis, maintain data integrity, and manage
all engineering, manufacturing and management activities during
development. An error-free environment guarantees that designed
systems will work the first time.

Speed-up your IC design flow with AVOSpice. AVOSpice is an
accurate accelerated tool for analog transient simulation for use in
VLSI design up to 1 million transistors. AVOSpice uses precise
SPICE-type simulation methods. AVOSpice is targeted for transistor
level simulation of VLSI analog circuits. For example:- amps -
operational amplifiers,- switched capacitors circuits - filters, ADC
and DAC,- high-speed generators - PLLs,- high-speed interfaces - DVI.
It's unique simulator, which use benefits of multi core architecture.4
cores computers accelerate simulation in 2.5 times. AVOSpice perfectly
matches flat netlist description for post layout IC simulation.

Zenasis Technologies, Inc. is provider of next-generation design
optimization technology for cell-based design, which helps in bridging
the gap between ASIC and Custom IC designs. Its context-specific
"hybrid optimization technology" operates at the gate, physical and
transistor levels for a given design placement, and empowers designers
to improve performance, power, and area. Zenasis helps cell-based
designers meet the demands for higher performance; faster timing
closure and cost-reduction without changing their existing process
technology and tool flow for their timing critical designs
