Magma Design Automation and MunEDA said they have completed  a collaborative effort to integrate Magma’s FineSim SPICE simulator and MunEDA’sWiCkeD tools suite.

The joint solution enhances and speeds the analysis, modeling and optimization of full-custom analog and digital circuit designs– especially in leading-edge 28-nanometer (nm) and 20-nm process technologies.Mutual customers now can invoke Magma’s FineSim SPICE from within MunEDA’sWiCkeD. The new solution, available now, is already in active use.

“MunEDA's high-end EDA tools for analysis, modeling, porting and sizing ideally complement our FineSimSPICE simulation solution for system-on-chip (SoC) designs. This joint solution gives our customers access to the advanced technology they need for silicon success at 28 and 20 nanometers and below,”  said AnirudhDevgan, general manager of Magma's Custom Design Business Unit.

“The combination of Magma’sFineSimSPICEand MunEDA’sWiCkeD benefits our mutual customers. Designers using MunEDA’s design tools with Magma’s simulation platform are able to analyze and optimize complex full-custom digital designs,” said HaraldNeubauer, president and CEO ofMunEDA.
