HIT-KIT V4.00 AVAILABLE NOW
|
|
austriamicrosystems business unit Full Service Foundry released a new improved version of its analog/mixed signal
high performance process design kit ("HIT-Kit") for its 0.35µm CMOS, High-Voltage CMOS and SiGe-BiCMOS
specialty technologies. The new HIT-Kit v4.0 is available for Cadence Design Systems' latest version of Virtuoso®
custom design platform IC 6.1 and supports the high performance 0.35µm process technologies C35 (CMOS), S35
(SiGe-BiCMOS) and H35 (High-Voltage CMOS).
The new version includes silicon-qualified digital, analog and RF library
elements as well as fully characterized simulation models for a large set of simulators, extraction and verification
run sets and automatic layout device generators. Hence product developers are enabled with a plug-and-play tool set
which facilitates "first time right" designs. The new HIT-Kit v4.00 is qualified for
Cadence Virtuoso Custom Design IC 6.1.2 ISR10 and may be used
within Solaris and Linux operating systems.
HIT-Kit v4.00 features:
- All libraries available and fully supported in Cadence OA database
- Qualified for Solaris 8/9/10 + RHEL 3.0/4.0
- Layout verification tool Assura 3.1.7
- CDL netlisting fully supported to generate Calibre netlists
- Graphical interface for Safe-Operating-Area-Check (SOAC)
- Full Setup and support for Cadence Multipart Paths objects
- Technology specific setup files for Synopsys Synthesis, VITAL, Verilog, RTL Compiler, and TLF.
- Libraries tested and qualified for Cadence NC-Sim IUS 06.11.012 (NC-Verilog, NC-VHDL and VerilogXL) and ModelSim 6.3
- Support for CDS AMS Designer + UltraSim
- Updated Assura rule files for DRC, LVS and RCX
- Updated Calibre rule files for DRC, LVS and EXT
- Additional set of 120V devices available
- Updated design documents available
The complete HIT-Kit v4.00 related documentation is available online at
