Silicon Canvas Laker Environment Integrates With Hercules Physical Verification Suite From Synopsys
Silicon Canvas, developer of the Laker® suite of high-performance tools for custom IC design, and Synopsys, Inc. announced the integration of Silicon Canvas' Laker schematic capture and layout environment with Synopsys' HerculesT Physical Verification Suite (PVS). Customers using Laker and Hercules PVS can now navigate and view the design and electrical rule checks (DRC, ERC) and layout versus schematic (LVS) errors using Hercules VUE with the Laker environment, enabling faster time to manufacturing sign-off. As part of Hercules PVS, Hercules VUE serves as the cockpit for designers to debug physical verification errors.
"We are pleased to announce Hercules integration as part of our commitment to provide our customers with a comprehensive analog and mixed-signal design environment, and best-in class flows," said Richard Morse, director of marketing for Silicon Canvas. "Hercules' proven sign-off capabilities with Hercules VUE offer a whole different level of productivity and ease of use, both of which are the cornerstones of Silicon Canvas' own products. We are pleased to offer this integration to a production-proven and foundry-supported product like Hercules."
"Working together, Silicon Canvas and Synopsys have developed a solution that will help increase productivity for our mutual customers," said Saleem Haider, senior director of product marketing for Synopsys. "The combination of Hercules and the Silicon Canvas Laker products will enable customers to more quickly review, navigate, and fix design violations found by Hercules in preparation for sign-off into manufacturing."
The current production releases of Laker and Hercules PVS support this functionality with the necessary, relevant product features required to deliver this integration today. These features are part of each standard product offering.
