Collaboration broadens power management access

TowerJazz and Tanner EDA have joined forces to develop process design kits for analogue/mixed signal designers using Tanner's HiPer Silicon software.

In doing so, Tanner's customers will gain access to TowerJazz' 0.18 and 0.35 micron power management process platform. Ori Galzur, vice president, VLSI Design Centre at Tower Semiconductor, said: "Tanner EDA offers a perfect blend of price performance, flexibility and interoperability that addresses the needs of our analogue/mixed signal ic design customers. By working with EDA vendors such as Tanner EDA, we can provide our mutual customers with an advanced power management platform and customised design capabilities to achieve more predictable designs. This collaboration will enable customers to decrease design cycle time and achieve a time to market advantage for their high performance and differentiated power management solutions."
