Open Access

STMicroelectronics is using the OpenPDK standard from Si2 to speed up the production and delivery of process design kits (PDKs) and asks for wider adoption by foundries.

Real-value modelling and flows using the Open Access database will be among the focus topics of Cadence's Mixed-Signal Technology Summit on 10 October.

SpringSoft is trying a different approach to constraint-based design in a bid to improve the automation of custom and mixed-signal design, particularly on advanced process nodes.
