A silicon compiler is an electronic design automation software tool that is used for high-level synthesis of integrated circuits. Such tool takes a user's specification of an IC design as input and automatically generates an integrated circuit (IC) design files as output for further fabrication by the semiconductor fabrication plant or manually from discrete components.
Milkyway is the database underlying most of Synopsys' physical design tools: IC Compiler and Astro physical synthesis; Star-RCXT RC parasitic extractor; Hercules LVS/DRC physical verification; Milkyway stores topological, parasitic and timing data. Having been used to design thousands of chips, Milkyway is very stable and production worthy.
High-level synthesis (HLS), sometimes referred to as C synthesis, electronic system-level (ESL) synthesis, algorithmic synthesis, or behavioral synthesis, is an automated design process that takes an abstract behavioral specification of a digital system and finds a register-transfer level structure that realizes the given behavior.
PathWave System Design (formerly SystemVue) - Electronic system-level design (Eagleware-Elanix acquisition) EM solvers: Momentum – 3D planar, frequency domain, available with the ADS, Genesys, and GoldenGate platforms; FEM Element – full 3D, frequency domain, available with the ADS and EMPro platforms
Electronic design automation (EDA), also referred to as electronic computer-aided design (ECAD), [1] is a category of software tools for designing electronic systems such as integrated circuits and printed circuit boards. The tools work together in a design flow that chip designers use to design and analyze entire semiconductor chips.
Premier Farnell Ltd. is a distributor of products for electronic system design, maintenance and repair throughout Europe, North America and Asia Pacific, with operations in 36 countries and trading in over 100. [1] In October 2016, the firm was purchased by Avnet in a deal valued at approximately £691 million. [2]
Logic design is a step in the standard design cycle in which the functional design of an electronic circuit is converted into the representation which captures logic operations, arithmetic operations, control flow, etc. A common output of this step is RTL description. Logic design is commonly followed by the circuit design step.
SPICE [5] is the origin of most modern electronic circuit simulators, its successors are widely used in the electronics community. Xspice [ 6 ] is an extension to Spice3 that provides additional C language code models to support analog behavioral modeling and co-simulation of digital components through a fast event-driven algorithm.
