RDE Adds SKILL, RTL Power Analysis and Schematic Editor Engines Print E-mail
Written by Tracy Heffner   
Tuesday, 29 May 2007
CUPERTINO, CASilicon Navigator Corp., a provider of broad-based Electronic Design Automation (EDA) solutions based natively on the Open Source, OpenAccess database, announced three new software engines for its RDE Framework (RDE)- SKILL compatible PCell Editor, RTL Power Analysis and Schematic Editor. The engines are said to augment RDE's existing engines for RTL processing, static timing analysis, layout editing, mask processing, data translation and graphic display.

According to the company, the RDE engines increase productivity for CAD developers and speed up CAD design tool development by allowing CAD developers to spend time on solving design problems rather than building basic functionality. Extensions facilitate the development of comprehensive EDA solutions on a unified standards-based environment

"We continue to aggressively pursue our business model of licensing design components based on the OpenAccess database," said CEO George Janac. "Our new engines are in answer to CAD developers' requests for broader flow coverage and better OpenAccess integration so Internal CAD solutions can cover new and unmet chip design needs."

The Schematic Editor engine reportedly allows designers to create or edit existing schematics stored in the OpenAccess database. The PCell engine and editor offers an interface for access to PCells coded in SKILLTM in the OpenAccess database. The RTL power analysis engine accepts RTL as input and computes leakage, dynamic and switching power by elaborating the RTL and propagating the activity. RTL and netlist support enables power to be tracked early in a design project and quickly optimized. RDE environment supports designs with millions of instances in a fraction of the time of other systems.

New Product
CSP/BallNest Socket Provides Consistant Test and Burn-In
Aries Electronics introduces the CSP/BallNest Hybrid Socket for test or burn-in of chip scale package, ball grid array, microBGA, land grid array and prototyping.
 
It can be used on any device having a pitch of 0.30 mm or larger. Features include a lid that nests each ball termination into the socket for a reliable connection and a four-point crown providing scrub on solder oxides.
 
It has a signal path of 0.0777 inches and provides minimal signal loss for higher bandwidth capability. Estimated contact life is 500,000 cycles, and the socket is available in custom materials, sizes, configurations and platings.
