Priva Technologies adopts Synopsys's custom implementation solution

Priva Technologies has adopted Synopsys's Galaxy Custom Designer custom implementation solution to design its next-generation security system-on-chip integrated circuits.

Synopsys said that Priva needed a modern-era analog/mixed-signal (AMS) design solution that could integrate easily into its system-on-chip (SoC) design flow and offer productivity enhancements.

Built from the ground up, Custom Designer was architected for productivity. Key modules include a schematic editor featuring on-canvas editing and dynamic net highlighting, according to Synopsys. The simulation environment provides a common use model allowing access to Synopsys simulators, including the HSPICE and CustomSim circuit simulation solutions and the WaveView Analyzer tool, added Synopsys.

According to Synopsys, the layout editor features a real-time preview of P-cell parameter changes, and the results from Synopsys's Hercules design rule checking/layout versus schematic and Star-RCXT parasitic extraction tools are available within Custom Designer.

It is reported that Custom Designer also enables complete data transparency with Synopsys's IC Compiler physical implementation solution, allowing the exchange of vital information during floorplanning, placement, routing and final chip editing to reduce time-consuming design iterations.

Berkman, chief technology officer of Priva Technologies, said: "To increase productivity on our next-generation IC designs, we needed a modern AMS solution with the flexibility to easily integrate into our security-based SoC design flow. Migrating our legacy data into Custom Designer was fast and accurate. The design team found using Custom Designer to be intuitive to use and quickly started taking advantage of the enhanced feature set."
