BANGALORE, INDIA: Magma Design Automation Inc., a provider of chip design software, today announced that Toshiba Corporation, a provider in semiconductors, has deployed Magma’s Talus IC implementation software for developing ICs at 90-, 65- and 40-nanometer (nm) process nodes that target multimedia, networking and printer applications, in Toshiba worldwide design centers. Toshiba adopted Talus after an extensive evaluation that proved the software’s ability to drastically reduce turnaround time, increase designer productivity and improve quality of results, said a press release.
Toshiba deployed Magma design implementation software in Toshiba’s Apex flows in 2001, and now has finished multiple designs including 65-nm and 40-nm tapeouts using Talus through its Apex 4.0 flow.
“Toshiba has demanding delivery schedules and performance requirements, and Magma has been instrumental in enabling us to address ever-increasing design and market challenges,” said Takashi Yoshimori, assistant chief technology executive of SoC Design, Semiconductor Company, Toshiba Corporation.
He added that Talus recently allowed them to reduce turnaround time drastically and improve leakage power and area for a multi-mode SoC design with more than 10 million gates. Based on this achievement and proven track record, they are now implementing their 90-, 65- and 40-nm designs with Talus.
“For Toshiba and its customers, reducing turnaround time is key,” said Premal Buch, general manager of Magma’s Design Implementation Business Unit. “Toshiba’s adoption of Talus firmly establishes Magma’s software as the fastest path to silicon.”
