Fareham, UK – EDA Solutions announces that X-FAB has released two 0.18 µm process design kits (PDK) for Tanner Tools Pro on X-TIC, X-FAB's online technical database.

Tanner Tools Pro is the software suite for the design, layout and verification of analog, mixed-signal (A/MS), RF and MEMS ICs from Tanner EDA, the world leader in PC-based A/MS and MEMS circuit design software.

The release of this new kit extends X-FAB’s PDK support for Tanner tools, adding X-FAB's 0.18 µm processes to the range of technologies currently supported (0.35, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 µm).

The new PDK will ensure a reliable and repeatable development flow and faster development cycles for analog and mixed-signal IC and MEMS designers who use Tanner Tools Pro in combination with X-FAB's 0.18 µm processes.

X-FAB's 0.18 µm modular analog/mixed-signal process family is based on the industrial standard one-poly-three-metal process baseline. It has a wide selection of options such as standard or low power, 1.8 V core voltage with either 3.3 V including RF or 5.0 V I/O voltage, high voltage up to 45 V and NVM options are easily combinable through the modular approach.

Tanner EDA solutions enable designers to move from concept to silicon with ease using highly cost-effective tools: Tanner Tools Pro is a software suite for the design, layout and verification of analog, mixed-signal, RF and MEMS ICs.

It includes S-Edit for schematic capture, T-Spice for analog circuit simulation and L-Edit for physical layout. HiPer Silicon builds on the capabilities of Tanner Tools Pro with advanced features that improve designer productivity, including the HiPer Verify foundry-compatible physical verification engine, Verilog-A simulation, an interactive autorouter, and device layout automation. Tanner EDA software is available on the Windows and Linux platforms.
