Forza Silicon selects Silicon Frontline’s P2P for Fast, Easy IR Drop and Resistance Mapping

Silicon Frontline Technology, Inc., a leading provider of electrical and physical verification for IC layout, today announced that Forza Silicon, a leader of advanced image sensor and mixed-signal IC designs, has selected the company’s P2P (IR Drop and Resistance Mapping) for fast, early IR Drop analysis and full-chip verification of their CMOS image sensors.

“Forza Silicon is focused on providing customers with cutting-edge image sensor solutions and we have stringent verification requirements in order to deliver high quality imagers,” said Kevin Johnson, CAD Manager at Forza Silicon. “We selected Silicon Frontline’s P2P to perform full-chip powernet analysis of our CMOS image sensors designs because it meets our accuracy, speed and quality standards.”

P2P provides the world’s fastest powernet verification for nanometer analog, mixed-signal, memory, and custom digital circuits. P2P is a powerful solution that combines interconnect extraction and analysis to help designers create and verify robust power networks. It is usable throughout the design cycle, from early physical design (think architecture and planning) through to final post-layout verification at tape-out. P2P is a very flexible tool, with several operating modes that provide both qualitative and quantitative analyses.

Resistance Mapping may be performed at any point in the design cycle, allowing early identification and fixes of problem areas. This ensures detailed IR drop and electromigration (EM) analysis is performed with a good candidate design, providing faster time to design closure and earlier market entry.

“We are delighted that Forza Silicon has adopted P2P for powernet verification of their advanced digital imaging solutions,” said Yuri Feinberg, President and CEO of Silicon Frontline Technology. “It further validates that Silicon Frontline Technology is an essential partner to leading edge companies designing a wide variety of analog mixed-signal SOCs and imaging sensor applications.”
