The Secret to Building IP at the Cutting Edge
By John Maneatis, True Circuits
At 7nm and beyond, the cost and time to develop IP is very high. To gain a suitable return, it's critical to have an efficient design methodology that produces a portfolio of attractive solutions in many process variants, metal stacks, Vt selections, and even completely different foundries. TCI employs a range of fascinating techniques, from building robust circuits, to using proprietary extensions of CAD tools to creating designs and deliverables from one, universal database. In this presentation John will explain the engineering behind a highly automated CAD flow that enables TCI to maximize IP consistency, quality and reuse.
