Featured AMS/Custom IC Design Events

Introducing Kronos Standard Cell Characterization and Analysis Monday, June 3, 3:00 PM

Suite Session Explore how the Kronos integrated platform for cell library characterization of standard cell, IO pad and complex cells reduces characterization time enabling complex flip-flops that would normally take 30 minutes to complete on a single machine in as little as one minute. Discuss how Kronos Analyzer can compare library correctness and automatically find cell maps between libraries based on cell behavior.

Pyxis Open – The New Era in Custom Design – Automating the CORE Monday, June 3, 4:00 PM

Suite Session Mentor Graphics is bringing revolutionary insight and automation to the most manual portions of custom IC design – the core – routing, placement and floor planning. Hear how our revolutionary interactive custom router is changing the competitive game for its users as it shortens routing time by 10X’s and cuts weeks of our customer’s tape out schedules. Also enjoy a sneak preview of our next deliveries for the automation core.

Custom IC Design and AMS Verification – Unparalleled Insight and Productivity Tuesday, June 4, 10:00 AM

Suite Session From our complete Custom IC Design flow through our industry leading simulators and analog Mixed Signal verification systems, Mentor Graphics solutions provide insight and productivity. This session will provide a quick overview of what is new across the product portfolio and then focus on the most recent customer results from our industry leading Faster SPICE simulator, Eldo Premier. Join us and learn about our new Electro-Thermal analysis features and how customers are gaining up to 12X performance improvement over traditional SPICE simulation.

Experts @ the Conference

  • Coverage-Driven Verification for Analog Design Based on UCIS F Abstract

    PRESENTATION Although front-end designers like to live in the ideal world presented by digital RTL modeling, many can no longer afford this luxury. It is increasingly important to include awareness of analog and other physical issues as early as possible in the design process. In this session we will hear about designer experiences with techniques that examine and verify analog and physical issues during the front-end phase of processor design.

Presenter: Atul Pandey, Application Engineer, Mentor Graphics
