In the semiconductor industry, analog design migrations often feel like chores. You know the drill: Design your circuit for one process node, only to be asked to move it to another, and then another.
It¡¯s like folding the same pile of laundry, week after week. But the stakes are much higher.
Each migration involves a considerable amount of tweaking, recalculating, and trial and error. And every manual task ¨C no matter how repetitive ¨C comes with the possibility of human error.
Credo Semiconductor wanted to eliminate these risks and accelerate their analog design migrations, which is why they turned to 17³Ô¹Ï ASO.ai.
Part of the 17³Ô¹Ï.ai? EDA suite, ASO.ai automates the process of migrating analog designs between process nodes, saving countless hours of manual work. ASO.ai also has a built-in optimizer that intelligently adjusts device parameter values based on the design¡¯s target metrics, eliminating the need for manual fine-tuning and ensuring accuracy every step of the way.
Credo migrated the VCO design from 5nm to 7nm using 17³Ô¹Ï ASO.ai, reducing the migration efforts from multiple weeks to just a few hours, including setup offering up to 100X productivity improvement. The migrated design is optimized using the ASO.ai-based Optimizer, completing over 10,000 searches in around 2 hours, a process that would otherwise take several days or even weeks without ASO.ai.
In a recent webinar, Yvonne Lin, associate vice president of technology foundry at Credo, discussed these impressive results, and Sidd Devalapalli, principal application engineer at 17³Ô¹Ï, shared additional details about ASO.ai.
