Western Semiconductor

Western Semiconductor is an EDA (Electronic Design Automation) company that has the following platforms: Analog Rails "BASIC" is drc/lvs correct by construction and fully synchronized analog IC design platform built natively on OPEN ACCESS. Our comprehensive environment synchronizes schematic, layout, waveform, simulation, and sensitivity. NEVER LOSE CROSSPROBING. Digital Rails includes digital simulation and optimized digital place and route, which includes built-in clock global and H-trees. Digital Rails in incorporated into the Analog Rails platform, and includes "Basic". Analog Rails "PREMIUM" includes Digital and Basic Rails, along with analog automation... migration, parasitic aware optimization(simulation annealing), compaction and RF, EM and differential aware routing. Other niceties include RCx, IR drop and EM checkers and differentially aware tiling, allowing circuit designers to reduce design time by over 20x. Analog Rails' top 10 big picture benefits: 1) OVER 20x labor efficiency. A $250K engineer will be worth $5M 2) Quicker time to market (tell your marketing group) 3) Expand portfolio (tell your marketing group) 4) More time to do trade-offs 5) More time to verify. Save mask sets, test/troubleshooting time 6) In control of their own layouts, which will improve the quality. 7) Ability to design bottom=>top=>bottom=>top. Why limit yourself? 8) Create IP on different foundries (2nd source) 9) Protect IP. No need to outsource. 10) Remove EDA empire. Replace CAD group with 1 layout person
