The EDA Requirements
  • High performance designs
  • Structured custom techniques
  • Programmability
  • Reconfigurability
  • High Capacity designs
  • Exceeding 50 M gates today
  • High-end package co-design
  • Power sensitive designs
  • Multi-Vt, multi-voltage designs
  • Low power design techniques

4
Nanometer Design Challenges
  • Higher frequency (100 MHz to 1GHz)
  • Consumer, Mobile applications
  • Magma customers NEC, Nokia, Sony
  • High capacity 1 to 10M gates
  • Base stations, gaming, graphics
  • Magma users Cisco, Broadcom, 3DLabs
  • Power-sensitive designs
  • Multi-vt, multi-Vdd designs
  • Magma users IBM, NEC, Fujitsu, STMicro

  5. Power

5
Traditional IC design flows too complex
  • Series of point tools that looks at various steps
  • Wireload models are not useful
  • Corrections at the end cause iterations
  • Standalone analysis is dead
  • Power and other manufacturing effects cannot be
    done as point solutions
  • Files sizes are too big

6
Magmas Integrated Solution
Integrated RTL-to-GDSII System
  • Merge logical physical EDA technology
  • Embed high accuracy, high speed analysis engines
  • Eliminates massive data handling
  • Eliminates mismatches in timing
  • Streamlines IC design flow

TSMCs Libraries and Technology Rules 0.15 um,
0.13um, 90nm
  • Mutual customers Broadcom, Vitesse, Internet
    Machines, PhyWorks, Sony, Hitachi, Panasonic,
    etc.
  • Strong partnership for 90nm integration

11
Why TSMC Chose Magma
  • Magma can integrate TSMC process-tuned libraries
    with their proven EDA tools to improve faster
    time to volume.
  • - Genda Hu, VP of Marketing, TSMC
  • Magma worked closely with TSMC to
  • Validate TSMCs library in Magmas design
    environment
  • Benchmark TSMC libraries
  • Ensure that Magma software supports TSMC
    manufacturing rules for 0.15?m, 0.13?m and 90nm
  • Complex design rules, via farm rules, metal
    rules, multi Vt cells
  • TSMC partnered with the industrys best to
    provide high quality libraries

12
Magma Ready For IBM Technology
  • Magma approved with validated Reference Flow for
    0.13um and 0.18um technologies including Blast
    Create and Blast Fusion
  • Artisan libraries for 8SF and 7SF processes fully
    qualified
  • Joint customers include 3DLabs, Vitesse,
    Intersil, Thomson Multi-Media, Clearspeed, etc.

13
Partnership Roadmap
  • Faraday is a close partner of UMC that provides
  • Design services from RTL to GDS
  • Libraries and IPs
  • Tapeout services and product engineering services
  • Their own standard products using their own IP
    manufactured by UMC
  • Magma Faraday/UMC partnership roadmap consists
    of three implementation phases
  • Mutual customers Faraday, Intersil, AMCC, etc.
