|
| Design implementation in a new technology node takes huge time and effort |
 |
Automatic migration accelerates schedule and cuts effort by up to 20x. |
 |
| First time design in a new technology is risky and expensive |
|
To reduce the risk – the first products should reuse as much as possible from existing and proven designs |
|
| Manage capacity and cost by using multiple fabrication sources |
|
Using a migration strategy, design can be implemented in multiple target foundries and fab-lines |
|
| Availability of libraries and silicon IP collateral in the target technology |
|
Migrating the entire IP infrastructure can be done well ahead of time |
|
| Changing design rules? Process is still not stable? |
|
Design can start well before all rules are stable & final: last-minute design-rule and PDK changes can be accommodated automatically and quickly |
 |
Complex process design rules?
Recommended DFM rules? |
|
Automatically fix all DRC violations and optimally implement recommended rules with no area penalty |
