New Platform For Shorter SoC Development Time

News
Toshiba announces co-design/co-verification platform for collaborative development of chip, package and PCB system.
New platform shortens SoC development
times and delivers cost/performance optimised solutions Toshiba
Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced a new system on chip (SoC)
design and verification platform that will significantly shorten ASIC
and ASSP development time. The CPS (Chip Package System)
co-design/co-verification platform supports the rapid identification
of the optimum SoC package as well as delivering the cost/performance
benefits and improving verification accuracy prior to hardware
prototyping.



Based on collaborative and simultaneous
development of the chip, the package and the PCB system board,
Toshiba's CPS allows designers to take an overall system view and
perform a number of traditionally sequential and isolated tasks in
parallel. Specifically, CPS allows IC designers to create a detailed
virtual package substrate while the chip development is still in
progress and before the designing of the physical package substrate
begins. From the package substrate model the designer can then
extract an accurate SPICE model. By combining this SPICE model with
the chip I/O model and a PCB model signal integrity and timing
verification on the chip package system design can begin before the
detailed chip design is completed.



The CPS platform includes Toshiba's
proprietary chip planner, a virtual package design tool chain that
provides for signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), thermal
integrity (TI), IR drop and ESD analysis. Using the planner,
designers can automatically perform SI, PI and TI checks early in the
design cycle as soon as pin assignment and design information becomes
available. This helps to reduce final costs by ensuring an optimum
pin count at an early stage of the development. Die pad allocations
and feasibility of initial package specification can also be
validated.


A seamless interface within Toshiba's
CSP suite of tools enables rapid validation and ensures a smooth
migration from virtual to real package. Toshiba file formats are
adapted to open EDA vendor formats, completely eliminating the need
for manual work in the design chain.



The new platform is fully supported by
the engineering teams at Toshiba's European LSI Design and
Engineering Centre (ELDEC) in Düsseldorf. Target applications
will be those where high data rates and smaller process geometries
require ever more complex and higher performance implementations.
These include multi Gbps SerDes designs, DDR interfaces, precise
analogue I/Os, PCI Express and SATA implementations, USB 2.0
high-speed PHYs and wide data path applications using 32-, 64- and
128- bit bus architectures.
