Porting Services
Do you need a second source for your high-runners, or do you want better priority for your silicon, than you should consider porting your design through Essensium's porting service.
Essensium offers porting services for digital, mixed signal and RF CMOS designs. Our primary target foundry processes for porting are Silterra 0.13 and 0.18 micron CMOS.
We have a standardized porting procedure and for each case we can offer the best porting route in terms of cost.
-
- Technology, libraries, IP, product requirements, EDA environment.
Exchange general project information
-
- Comparison of rules (electrical/physical/...) between the original technology and the target technology.
- Comparisons known for several foundries.
Technology comparison
-
- Select equivalent target process
- Select equivalent libraries for target process
- Select equivalent IP for target process
Define the optimal porting route
-
- Verify porting results (layout verification, ...)
Implement porting route
-
- Use Multi-Project Wafer Services
- Pilot Runs & Preproductions
- Qualification
Prototyping
Essensium Porting Procedure
-
- Stream in (proprietary or full custom IP)
- Direct swap (same libraries)
- Recompilation (e.g.: memories)
- Redo place & route
- Re-synthesize and redo place & route
FASTEST:
- Redesign and (manual) layout
