Silicon Metrics adopts Synopsys design Platform

Silicon Metrics Corp., a provider of characterization tools for standard cells, memories, and I/O's, has taken part of Synopsys Inc.'s Milkyway Access Program (MAP-in). Silicon Metrics has integrated its SiliconSmart characterization solutions with the Synopsys Galaxy Design Platform for timing, power, and signal integrity design closure.

"Silicon Metrics has collaborated extensively with Synopsys to advance the library modeling standards," said Vess Johnson, president and CEO of Silicon Metrics. "As design teams move toward 90nm, the interoperability offered through the Milkway API helps these teams maximize their return on investment through faster timing, power, and signal integrity closure flows."
