Designing custom IC’s is what you do, right? 

You are likely to have experiences with different EDA tools covering the whole flow; front-end and back-end, analysis and verification and DFT.

Is the solution you use today good?  Probably.

Are there other EDA tools ‘out there’ which could improve your design flow, make you more productive, improve the quality of your IC?   

Unless you design for one of the major semiconductor companies with pretty much access to everything, the answer is ‘almost certainly you could improve what you have’.

The question is where to start?

Well,  try this webinar.  Don’t worry, it’s not the A-Z of EDA but it will offer an informative update to the mixed-signal custom IC solution from Siemens.  It will illustrate front and back end design, the analysis engines of Analog FastSPICE and Solido together with Symphony and Questa for the mixed signal and not forgetting the universally popular Calibre for all manner of chip verification. 

The scope is ‘analog-on-top’ for ASICs structured for ‘Big-A, small-D’.

After the webinar will you change your entire EDA flow?  We doubt it.  But we do expect you to raise your eyebrows at the progress which the Siemens custom IC design solution has made.  And we suspect you will want to have a serious think about what you could do if can find some time to look for a better solution.
