By leveraging Titan’s tight integration with Talus IC implementation system, QThink can automate what are traditionally manual, repetitive and time-consuming steps in chip finishing process, enabling them to offer their customers with the shorter development cycles and decreased development costs.
With third-party chip finishing, an inordinate amount of time is spent performing manual chip integration tasks such as top-level routing, connecting to the package routing layers, implementing last minute ECOs and adding manufacturing data, stated Urban Jangren, vice president of engineering at QThink. Titan is significantly faster and provides higher capacity than any other chip finishing tool we’ve used. It has turned several days of manual work into a scripted flow executed in minutes!
The Magma software offers the highest level of integration and automation, allowing designers to deliver ICs with better quality of results with less effort and in less time, stated Suk Lee, general manager of Magma’s Custom Design Business Unit. QThink’s decision to use the Magma software is a strong endorsement of its ability to improve designer productivity.
Titan: Lightning-Fast, Automated Chip Finishing and Live Integration with Digital Implementation:
In traditional flows, chip finishing, the point at which the digital and analog blocks of a design are combined together is a time-consuming and manual task. Titan Chip Finishing can manipulate large designs with ease, automates analog and special-net routing via efficient constraints-based approach and makes all mixed-signal layout changes immediately available for the physical and timing verification sign-off analysis via live interface with Talus, Quartz DRC and Quartz LVS. Titan Chip Finishing can implement late engineering change orders (ECOs) that affect both analog and standard-cell components without drastically delaying the schedule.
