Magma has LogicVision provides automatic test pattern generation technology licensing

Chip design solutions, Magma (Magma) Design Automation Inc. today announced that leading semiconductor companies have built self-test (BIST) and SA626DK datasheet and diagnostic solutions provider LogicVision provides automatic test pattern generation ( ATPG) technology licensing. Through this agreement, LogicVision will be able to quickly expand the product portfolio, providing customers with more comprehensive design for test (DFT) capabilities to improve test quality, reduce nano-nanometer IC design cycle and SA626DK price and reduce IC costs. In addition, the two companies also signed a separate agreement that allows Magma distribution LogicVision products to its strategic customers.

"When the ATPG LogicVision provides advanced technical support, technical expertise of DFT, Magma will continue to focus on implementation, physical verification and SA626DK suppliers and circuit simulation aspects of the core products," Magmas Design Implementation Business Unit, said Kevin Moynihan, general manager , "DFT products are advanced with Magmas RTL-to-GDSII flow is completely interoperable, but it also offers shorter design cycles and better results. of the continued support of advanced DFT technology will allow our customers benefit. "

LogicVision will be based on Magmas advanced technology to develop, sell and support the ATPG and ATPG compression solutions. The two companies will ensure that the advanced DFT features and Magmas IC implementation software interoperability between the close.

LogicVision use of Magmas technology allows ATPG capabilities to a higher level

LogicVision has been working to provide the most comprehensive DFT products, the development of ATPG and ATPG compression solutions to its industry-leading features to provide additional full-speed logic BIST. By Magma in key technologies, including the use of advanced multi-threaded architecture ATPG core technology, ATPG and ATPG compression solutions development speed will be greatly accelerated, which represents a multi-processor platform to take full advantage of the higher ATPG features the next generation of processing power. Being developed to provide a new ATPG solution than the current test speed is expected to be much faster business solutions.

"LogicVision is committed to providing best-in-DFT solution," LogicVision president and CEO Jim Healy said, "Based on Magmas new ATPG advanced technology solutions and our industry-leading solutions for logic BIST The combination will ensure that our customers have the necessary tools to meet the logic test needs. "

Magma implementation of integrated solutions BIST solutions are available now. ATPG first round of the new customer interaction solutions, is expected to be launched in autumn 2009.
