“We are a Tanner AMS IC design flow for mixed-signal designs. It is important to our success that we can design top-down with a mixed-signal approach”

“Our philosophy is to select the most cost-effective tool for a particular engagement. Additionally, we have to be capable of managing a wide variety of jobs – our designs operate from DC to 5GHz. We frequently push the capabilities of tools in our work and we need to be able to customise them when necessary. That’s something that is easy to do with L-Edit Pro; it’s very straightforward to write our own device generators, for example. Another important consideration is the time it takes to learn to use, or re-acclimatise, with the tool. We have to pull design teams together very quickly, start projects quickly and deliver them quickly – L-Edit is a great help in that respect and its simplicity also reduces our need for CAD support.”
