DongbuAnam Semiconductor and Synopsys Jointly Develop 130nm Reference Flow; Galaxy-based Reference Flow Based on Synopsys' Galaxy Design Platform Addresses Power Management and Signal Integrity Closure for Deep Submicron Designs.SEOUL, South Korea -- DongbuAnam Semiconductor Inc. (KSE KSE Karachi Stock Exchange KSE Kuwait Stock Exchange KSE Korea Stock Exchange KSE Kernel Scheduler Entities KSE Kill Switch Engage (band) KSE Kuat Systems Engineering (Star Wars) :001830), one of the world's largest pure-play wafer foundries, today announced that it has worked with Synopsys, Inc. to jointly develop a reference flow for DongbuAnam's 130-nanometer (nm) process. Synopsys Professional Services (job) professional services - A department of a supplier providing consultancy and programming manpower for the supplier's products. collaborated with DongbuAnam engineers to develop an optimized 130-nm RTL-to-GDSII design flow, named DAS Ref 130.1, based on Synopsys' Galaxy(TM) Design Platform. The result of this development is an easy-to-adopt reference flow, which addresses key 130-nm design challenges such as power management and signal integrity closure. DongbuAnam's customers now have immediate access to the DAS Ref 130.1 reference flow, which is expected to speed time to quality results. "We are pleased to complete this collaboration with Synopsys to give our customers access to a leading EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. IC design platform for our advanced 130nm GL130S process technology," said Dr. Heung-Joon Park at DongbuAnam. "The availability of this jointly developed reference flow is well timed Adj. 1. well timed - done or happening at the appropriate or proper time; "a timely warning"; "with timely treatment the patient has a good chance of recovery"; "a seasonable time for discussion"; "the book's publication was well timed" to support new 130-nm chip designs targeting communications and digital consumer electronics applications. We look forward to ongoing collaboration with leading EDA firms such as Synopsys to help ensure our customers have a clear path to get their complex chips to market in a predictable way." The reference flow incorporates the following Galaxy Design Platform tools: Design Compiler(R) logic synthesis product and DesignWare(R) Library for RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; synthesis, power optimization and test logic insertion; JupiterXT(TM) floorplanning product for rapid design planning, power network synthesis and initial IR-drop analysis; Physical Compiler(R) physical synthesis product for power-aware physical synthesis; Astro(TM) advanced physical design system for SI and EM-aware clock-tree synthesis and routing; AstroRail(TM) power integrity analysis, implementation and verification tool for IR-drop and EM analysis; industry standards Star-RCXT(TM), PrimTime(R) and PrimeTime SI tools for parasitic extraction and SI-aware timing sign-off; Hercules(TM) PVS PVS 1 Persistent vegetative state, see there 2.

The advanced features of these tools embedded in the reference flow provide designers proven capabilities for addressing 130nm design issues and enable more predictable tape outs to DongbuAnam's foundry. The DAS Ref 130.1 reference flow is available now. For details, please contact DongbuAnam at design@dsemi.com.
