SNOWBUSH establishes Physical Design Center in Mexico to offer expert, cost-effective analog layout

September 20, 2006 – SNOWBUSH microelectronics today announced the establishment of a Physical Design Center in Aquascalientes, Mexico to provide expert, cost-effective physical design services for analog and mixed-signal IC development.

The Center, to officially open on October 2, 2006, will offer analog and full custom digital layout and related physical design verification. The Center will deliver finished layout in SNOWBUSH’s advanced physical design flow, or work directly in the customer’s design environment.

“SNOWBUSH has extensive experience in analog and mixed-signal layout, including significant expertise in the 90nm and 65nm process nodes. Customers of the Center will benefit from this expertise, but with the cost-effectiveness of an offshore design center”, said SNOWBUSH COO, Greg Warren. “In addition, for analog IC designers and chip integrators based in North America, the Center offers real-time access to its physical design engineers, which is not available from design centers based in Asia”.
