SAN FRANCISCO—EDA vendor Apache Design Solutions and chipmaker STMicroelectronics have expanded their existing business relationship and technical collaboration to address the upcoming power and noise challenges associated with 45- and 32-nm designs, the companies said Thursday (Feb. 19).
The deal expands ST's use of Apache's RedHawk and Sentinel platforms to address the upcoming design challenges such as 3D-IC power integrity, DDR jitter detection and prevention, chip-package-system convergence and EMI analysis, Apache said.
Previous collaborative efforts between the two companies have resulted in the delivery of power and noise solutions for SoC power signoff, advanced low power design validation, custom IP analysis and modeling, and early-design power/ground grid prototyping, according to Apache (San Jose, Calif.).
