Analog/Mixed-Signal Implementation

The Titan design environment delivers advanced custom design technology to dramatically improve design and layout productivity and enable analog block reuse, generating predictable results in days without sacrificing performance.

Analog design has traditionally been a manual, time-consuming task. The Titan design environment combines a comprehensive analog/mixed-signal design platform with breakthrough point-tool technologies to provide new capabilities for analog and mixed-signal design. The Titan environment provides analog designers with unique solutions delivering:

• Dramatic layout productivity
• Analog IP reuse and IP libraries
• Layout-aware schematic design
• Automated process migration
• Rapid design exploration and optimization

Titan – Integrated Analog/Mixed-Signal Design Tools

Whether you’re creating a new analog design, porting a library of designs to a new process, or integrating analog blocks on a mixed-signal SoC, the Titan design environment offers solutions to the most pressing problems facing analog designers today. The Titan environment includes the comprehensive Titan Mixed-Signal Design Platform, and a set of breakthrough point-tool technologies known as the Titan Accelerators.

Titan Mixed-Signal Platform, the industry’s first true mixed-signal design platform, integrates implementation and verification while delivering first-time-correct, predictable mixed-signal designs. The Titan mixed-signal platform includes a schematic editor, a complete analog simulation environment, schematic-drive layout and layout editor. The Titan platform is tightly integrated with the Talus digital implementation tools and provides a chip finishing flow to deliver a comprehensive mixed-signal design platform.

Titan Accelerators are advanced technology solutions that dramatically improve analog/mixed-signal design productivity and reuse. The Titan Accelerators can be used separately as point tools to augment existing tool flows, or combined to create a comprehensive high-performance analog/mixed-signal design environment. These targeted solutions provide new options to analog designers facing increasingly complex challenges in custom circuit design. Magma offers the following Titan Accelerator solutions: 

• Titan Analog Design Accelerator (ADX) – A model-based analog design and optimization tool that enables analog design reuse. ADX creates new designs from Magma’s library of FlexCell building blocks, and makes existing designs reusable as FlexCell models.
• Titan FlexCell Libraries - Process-independent analog building blocks speed analog reuse with Titan ADX. The Basic and Advanced libraries raise the level of abstraction for analog design.
• Titan Analog Virtual Prototyper (AVP) – A layout-aware schematic design tool that empowers designers to perform simultaneous electrical and physical co-design. Titan AVP captures layout effects early in the design process, enabling rapid schematic-to-layout convergence.
• Titan Analog Layout Accelerator (ALX) – An automatic migration tool that moves analog cell layouts to new process technologies while preserving design intent. Titan ALX is the fastest path to porting a library of cells to new technologies.
• Titan Shape-Based Router (SBR) – A high-performance, mixed-signal router for automating difficult routing tasks including analog cell layouts, clocks, DDR and chip-level assembly. SBR delivers a 10x improvement in routing productivity.
