Dansk EDA-firma med nye værktøjer

Teklatech lancerer værktøj til design af EMI/EMC-følsomme mixed-signal chips (in english).

The Danish start-up EDA company Teklatech is releasing a break-through design automation technology at this year's DATE conference, a technology which successfully bridges the gap between analog and digital design optimization.

The technology represents a major step forward for e.g. wireless design, which is suffering under the disturbance of noise from larger digital circuitry and faster current transients.

Other high impact segments include noise sensitive digital ICs in highly integrated systems such as mobile phones, as well as automotive and aerospace chips with strict EMI/EMC compliancy requirements. With semiconducto r technologies in nano scale geometries, power and noise integrity presents a major obstacle to design closure, inhibiting the optimal utilization of the newest and most advanced fabrication technologies.

Currently a host of analysis tools exist to assist IC designers in the sign-off phase, but until now implementation-phase optimization has been out of reach. Teklatech’s FloorDirector technology now makes it possible to optimize the dynamic content of digital ASIC power grid currents in an automated flow and immediately view results in the frequency domain. This makes a range of optimization targets accessible to designers.

- The break-through innovations embedded in FloorDirector 2.0 allow true mixed-signal design optimization. The bridge enabled between the analog and digital domains is unprecedented. The fact that the technology is applicable in the implementation-phase allows designers to not merely analyse and iterate, but to actually take proactive steps for noise convergence. Our clients are currently harvesting these benefits, says founder and CEO, Dr. Tobias Bjerregaard.

Nigel Woolaway, President of Leading Edge Snc comments:
- Teklatech’s FloorDirector technology effectively addresses important challenges regarding EMI/EMC compliance, challenges to which the industry currently provides no satisfactory solution. This ground breaking technology solves pressing design challenges, and we expect high impact in a range of applications.

With the newest release of the FloorDirector EDA software, released at DATE 2009 in Nice, France, Teklatech makes these capabilities readily available to the IC design community. The tool instantiates an analysis and automated optimization framework.
