TowerJazz reference design flow tips Cadence tech for power management

TowerJazz launches the Reference Flow 2.0 reference design flow for TowerJazz's TS018PM 180nm and TS035PM 350nm bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) power management process technologies. The reference design flow features Cadence Design Systems' Cadence Encounter Digital Implementation System and Virtuoso technologies.

The reference design flow features mixed-signal power management techniques with a unified custom/analog and digital flow for TowerJazz's TS018PM 180nm and TS035PM 350nm bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) power management process technologies. The company claims the technologies provide industry-leading features to integrate power management devices together with control logic.

The collaboration with Cadence ensures a validated path to silicon realization with end-to-end mixed-signal design, verification and implementation solutions on the most advanced power management platform. It aims to accelerate design realization while reducing risk and lowering overall development costs. TowerJazz's Reference Design Flow 2.0 delivers advanced mixed-signal methodology based on OpenAccess and SKILL-based process design kits (PDKs) to enable silicon success and faster time to market for customers.
