Worldwide Design Enablement Overview

We provide a design enablement platform that complements our sophisticated technology and enables a quick and accurate design cycle. We provide design kits, IPs and dedicated design services for our process technologies so our customers succeed with first-time working silicon and fast time-to-market. We have deep partnerships with major EDA vendors and IP providers to supply our customers with the most comprehensive and up-to-date design solutions available in the market.

Our design enablement platform includes silicon verified and highly scalable device models and robust physical design tools for up front design optimization. Unique tools such as Monte Carlo statistical and PCM based models allow the user to maximize the performance-yield tradeoff. In addition, MOSVAR model libraries improve simulation accuracy reducing product development time. The Jazz Inductor Toolbox (JIT) provides advanced modeling capability for octagonal and square inductors to provide designers flexibility in choosing the right inductors when designing their products. Our powerful and efficient tools enable unprecedented accuracy in device models and our unparalleled customer support at every stage of the design flow ensures confidence in designs at near zero risk.

We have focused our latest design enablement efforts in the emerging power management area as well as the RF/HPA (high performance analog) areas to provide design enablement platforms that complement our advanced technologies. We have qualified reference flows for our analog/mixed-signal 180nm power management process with several electronic design automation (EDA) vendors. We belong to the IPL Alliance to deliver interoperability of process design kits (iPDKs) for our customers' analog/mixed-signal designs.
