Mentor Graphics partners with Jazz
Semiconductor to offer state-of-the-art
AMS Technology Design Kits
Mentor is proud of its partnership with Jazz to offer
analog/mixed-signal (AMS) design kits which contain comprehensive
and proven sets of building blocks at the device level, enabling
semiconductor companies and electronic systems manufacturers to
jump-start their design cycles. Jazz's foundry process, combined
with Mentor's AMS IC Flow, greatly reduces time-to-market and ensures
manufacturing success of analog, RF and mixed-signal ICs, as well
as systems on chips (SoCs).
Jazz/Mentor TDKs not only offer the necessary design building blocks,
they capture the essence of a tightly integrated set of Mentor tools.
This provides a complete end-to-end solution for design capture
(schematic or netlist), functional verification, physical layout
(floorplanning, placement and routing), physical verification (DRC
and LVS), parasitic extraction and post-layout verification (parasitic
back-annotation to the schematic, and simulation).
Key benefits of the Jazz/Mentor TDK,
available at no additional cost to customers:
Jazz/Mentor Graphic TDK offerings
SBC35 is a mature, low-power, cost-effective 0.35-micron SiGe
solution for both networking and wireless applications. Designers
have the flexibility of using any combination of three bipolar
(NPN) transistors, each of which provides a different optimization
for power and speed. With a peak Ft of 62GHz, it is a clear choice
for innovative, high-performance applications. SBC35 comes standard
with three bipolar (NPN) transistor types, 3.3 volt CMOS, deep
trench isolation, lateral PNP transistors, MIM and MIS capacitors,
high-performance varactors, poly and nwell resistors, and high-Q
inductors. SBC35 options include a triple-well, three or four
layers of metal, and a thick top-metal.
To access available Jazz design kits, please contact your local
Jazz representative.
What will I receive?
The customer is provided with a self-extracting
tar file containing:
Design
Architect-IC Symbols with predefined properties for Eldo simulation
and SDL & LVS
Userware
to customize the library palettes listing the available components
Userware,
Process Definition File (PDF), layout and device generators as
required for each component
Open
Source Code on all components of the design kit, providing customers
with the flexibility to further extend or customize the kit
Cell
Library includes analog or digital logic cells upon application;
please contact Jazz Semiconductor for release details
Documentation
Release_notes:
Unique requirements for the specific design kit and revision history,
documenting which specific Eldo models and DRC/LVS files were
used to validate the design kit
Installation_Guide:
Brief description of design kit contents and installation procedure
Library_Specification.pdf:

NOTE: The symbols created were based on the defined subckts
and models for Eldo. The design kits are for Mixed-Signal/Analog/RF
designs and typically contain MOS devices, resistors, capacitors,
NPNs, diodes, varactors (RF) and inductors (RF). Some may contain
cell libraries of analog or digital cells. Please contact Jazz
for release details.
