Based on the high-performing VICTREX PEEK thermoplastic composite, Magma m-pipe has recently achieved the world’s first qualification for a subsea pipe product under DNVGL-RP-F119 for Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP). Global quality assurance and risk management company DNV GL defined its F119 recommended practice (RP) for use with pipelines in offshore oil and gas operations.

Magma® Design Automation Inc., a provider of chip design software, announced today that it has received the eSilicon Corporation 2011 Supplier of the Year Award. Magma, an eSilicon technology and business partner since 2003, beat out a crowded field this past year by providing technology leadership, product quality, lowest total cost of ownership and excellent customer service.

Magma Design Automation Inc. announced that recent improvements to the Talus 1.2 integrated circuit (IC) implementation platform have triggered a significant increase in customer adoption. Since its initial release 12 months ago, Magma has continued to refine the system, improving runtime by 40 percent and enhancing high-performance core design capabilities. The result is a robust and silicon-proven solution that accelerates development and reduces the cost of advanced-node systems on chip (SoCs).

Magma Design Automation announced Exar Corporation has adopted the Tekton static timing analysis and QCP extraction software to accelerate sign-off and engineering change order (ECO) flows for 40-nanometer systems on a chip (SoCs). Exar selected the Magma solution after an extensive evaluation in which Tekton and QCP were shown to efficiently perform multi-mode multi-corner analysis and extraction, to deliver 5X faster runtime than traditional tools, and to provide sign-off quality results. Exar is now leveraging the Magma solution to shorten development cycles and accelerate shipment of next-generation devices to customers to meet dynamic market requirements

Magma’s Titan Adopted by Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited to Improve Analog Design Productivity Extensive evaluation proved Titan ADX’s ability to increase designer productivity, accelerate turnaround time on SoCs and to reduce the cost of analog design and reuse.

Magma Design Automation Inc. has announced that Analog Bits, Inc., the integrated clocking and interface IP leader, accelerates analog IP verification for its precision clocking macros, programmable interconnect solutions and specialized memories using FineSim™ SPICE multi-CPU circuit simulation technology. Using the FineSim SPICE multi-CPU simulation technology, Analog Bits has significantly shortened simulation runtimes, increasing simulation coverage without sacrificing accuracy.

Magma Design Automation has announced SystemNav, a next-generation tool that extends CAD navigation and circuit debug from integrated circuits (ICs) to stacked die, printed circuit boards (PCBs) and multichip modules (MCMs). SystemNav is the only commercially available tool that integrates multiple, interactive IC and PCB online trace and circuit debugging with CAD navigation. SystemNav allows rapid signal traces on chips, stacked dies and MCMs and PCBs. With SystemNav, fab teams can trace signals from chip to board, back to chip and then quickly navigate failure analysis tools to X, Y locations to determine the root cause of the fault.

Magma Design Automation brings its Silicon One Seminar Series to Europe next month, with one-day seminars to be held in the UK and France. The European dates are part of a global roadshow which includes events in the US, Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan and Israel. Magma will host the France seminar on Tuesday 8th November at Sophia Antipolis, and on Thursday 10th November in London.

Magma Design Automation Inc. has announced the “Best Paper” winners for MUSIC – Magma Users Summit on Integrated Circuits held here on September 7. Over 200 Magma users attended the annual event that featured 11 papers, a keynote by Balajee Sowrirajan, director of IC Engineering in the OMAP Business Unit at Texas Instruments, and a presentation given by Magma CEO Rajeev Madhavan.

Magma® Design Automation have announced that the new pattern matching capability in the Quartz™ DRC physical verification product has been qualified to support DRC+, GLOBALFOUNDRIES' silicon-validated, yield-critical pattern-based design for manufacturing (DFM) verification flow for all advanced process technologies, including 40 nanometer (nm), 28 nm and below.

Magma Design Automation Inc., a provider of chip design solutions, today announced TSMC has included the QCP™ extractor in TSMC’s quarterly EDA qualification report for 28-nanometer (nm) integrated circuits (ICs). This qualification gives designers additional confidence in using QCP to address the increasing complexity of ICs implemented in TSMC’s 28-nm processes.

– Applied Materials, Inc. and Magma Design Automation, Inc. announced today that they have integrated Magma’s CAD (computer-aided design)-based navigation and yield analysis software with Applied’s advanced inspection systems. This unique combination of design and manufacturing tools has accelerated lithography qualification and improved chip yields at multiple customers for the development and production of advanced technology nodes.

The combination of Magma’s Titan and FineSim software and LFoundry’s process technology will accelerate development of analog/mixed-signal products, especially for European system-on-chip developers.
