IC tool gives instant signoff verification

The Calibre RealTime platform provides signoff-quality physical verification during IC design creation. The SoC design tool provides instantaneous design rule checking (DRC) as place-and-route progresses and improves design speed and quality of results.

The package uses SpringSoft Laker custom IC design software for a new design flow that is seamless, virtually instantaneous, and encompasses analog and digital areas. The tool can handle the two to ten times greater number of design rules required for 28-nm SoCs. ($100,000 — available now.)
