X-FAB Adds Support for MunEDA WiCkeD Tool Family to Statistical Modeling Offering to Optimize Circuit Performance, Statistical Analysis, Yield Optimization
Erfurt, Germany - Thursday, November 29th, 2007
X-FABs statistical modeling suite for 0.6 and 0.35 micrometer analog/mixed-signal technology platforms, including the new support for MunEDA solutions, is available immediately.
X-FAB Silicon Foundries, the world's leading foundry group for analog/mixed-signal semiconductor applications, today broadened its statistical modeling suite for Monte Carlo simulation for its 0.6 and 0.35 micrometer analog/mixed-signal technology platforms by announcing support for the MunEDA WiCkeD tool family of software tools. Using the combination of MunEDA automated circuit performance, yield analysis and optimization tools within the X-FAB statistical modeling suite for Monte Carlo simulation can help companies achieve robust, high-yielding designs. The move reflects ongoing cooperation between X-FAB and MunEDA to reduce the number of required analog/mixed-signal design respins and speed time to market for communications, computer, automotive, consumer electronic and other applications.
MunEDA´s tool WiCkeD is a comprehensive family of software tools for manual, semi- and full automatic analysis and yield optimization of analog, mixed-signal and digital circuits. Tools for nominal diagnosis and optimization, Monte Carlo and worst case analysis, and others, are incorporated into an automated script-based IP porting flow for added efficiency.
According to Thomas Ramsch, director of design support at X-FAB, "Designing mixed-signal ICs is challenging and complex. We are pleased to add MunEDA´s methodologies for circuit performance, statistical analysis and yield optimization to our full statistical modeling support. This powerful software helps our customers make their analog/mixed-signal designs more robust and get to market faster."
Dr. Michael Pronath, vice president of products and solutions at MunEDA, added, "We are pleased that X-FAB is extending its statistical modeling suite for analog/mixed signal semiconductor applications with our tools and methodologies for automated circuit performance, and yield analysis and optimization. The combination – a result of our companies long-standing and ongoing cooperation in research – gives designers a way to achieve reliable, high-yielding designs."
