OEA Validated Legend’s MSIM Circuit Simulator for Quality of Results in Signal Integrity Analysis of High-Speed InterconnectsMorgan
Hill and Santa Clara, California – May 11, 2004. OEA International,
Inc. (OEA), the industry leader in 3D interconnect extraction, and
Legend Design Technology, Inc. (Legend), the leading provider of
semiconductor IP characterization and simulation software, today
announced that OEA has entered partnership with Legend, and
successfully qualified Legend’s circuit simulator MSIM for interconnect
modeling with inductances and signal integrity analysis.
“For today’s high-speed circuit designs, signal integrity
analysis and interconnect modeling using 3D extraction is definitely
required,” said Jerry Tallinger, Vice President of Marketing and Sales
at OEA International, Inc. “I am pleased to see the high accuracy of
the results from qualifying our interconnect modeling and signal
integrity analysis tools with the MSIM circuit simulator. The MSIM has
been well proven in handling the RCLM (Resistors, Capacitors,
Inductors, MOSFETs) models, especially in the cases of mutual
inductances. Not only have we the superior accuracy, but also the
productivity gains with the high simulation speed of MSIM. We certainly
look forward to closer cooperation with Legend to ensure our customers
receive the best tools with highest quality.”
“Accurate signal integrity analysis and accurate interconnect
modeling is the key for first-silicon-success in deep-submicron and
nanometer design,” said Dr. You-Pang Wei, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Legend Design Technology. “I am glad that OEA has validated
Legend’s MSIM as a tool-of-choice for circuit simulation in signal
integrity analysis. With both Legend’s MSIM and OEA’s EDA tools, we
believe customers will experience a high Quality of Results for on-chip
and package interconnects.”
