Solido Integrates New Transistor-Level Statistical Design and Verification Technology with Cadence Virtuoso Analog Design Environment and Cadence Spectre Circuit Simulator.Integration Brings Sophisticated Statistical Design and Verification to Analog and Custom IC Designers; Ensures That Nanometer Designs Work Despite Wide Variations within a Given Manufacturing Process SASKATOON Saskatoon (săskət  n`), city (1991 pop. 186,058), S central Sask., Canada, on the South Saskatchewan River. , Canada -- Solido Design Automation today announced the
integration of its new transistor-level statistical design and
verification technology with Cadence cadence, in music, the ending of a phrase or composition. In singing the voice may be raised or lowered, or the singer may execute elaborate variations within the key. [R] Design System, Inc.'s
Virtuoso[R] Analog Design Environment and Virtuoso Spectre[R] Circuit
Simulator. Customers who design analog/mixed-signal, custom digital, and
memory integrated circuits Integrated circuitsMiniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. (ICs) will benefit from the integration of Solido technology by improving IC yield and eliminating the need to over-design circuits. In addition, designer productivity is expected to soar due to the tightly integrated and complementary products. "Our new technology offers capabilities that are fundamental for today's nanometer manufacturing processes," said Solido cofounder co·found tr.v. co·found·ed, co·found·ing, co·founds To establish or found in concert with another or others. co·found and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"It addresses the toughest problems -- global and local statistical variations -- that occur in semiconductor devices designed for manufacturing processes at or below 180 nanometers. The Solido integration is enabled by the Cadence Connections[R] program for open collaboration, bringing emerging third-party solutions to the customer's design environment. Through Solido's participation in the program, analog and custom IC designers using the Virtuoso Analog Design Environment will have new features to explore and improve their circuits." The new Solido patent-pending technology incorporates statistical sampling, tradeoff analysis, circuit characterization, and circuit enhancement to discover problems and explore opportunities to compensate for those problems. Included in the Solido solution are new statistical data mining and visualization algorithms that enable designers to identify areas of interest, efficiently explore the data, analyze and interpret it, and prepare reports. Solido is currently working with customer partners and will announce its transistor-level statistical design and verification tool suite in the next few months. The Cadence Connections program, which has more than 130 member companies, promotes interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. in all areas of electronic design, bringing value and third-party solutions to our customers' design chain. Connections Program has the industry's largest collection of third-party solutions working together with Cadence to make our mutual customers more successful.
