Design Kits:

advICo develops design kits for Cadence® and AWR Analog Office® as well as special purpose design tools on behalf of our customers. Our design kits are focused on analog and RF designs. Cadence® kits use Spectre or Spectre/RF for simulation and support both Diva and Assura flow for verification - use whatever meets your needs best. Both verification flows offer push-button filler generation as required by all modern semiconductor processes, giving you more valuable time for actual design.
Analog Office® design kits offer a very modern design flow with tight coupling between schematic and layout. Optimization tasks can be performed very fast and convenient. Tuners for parameters often allow watching the simulation results in realtime.

We offer:

• Programming of design kits
• Design kit support
• Design tools

We supply design kits for IHPs leading-edge SiGe technologies (npn f_T>200 GHz and pnp fT>90 GHz, LDMOS devices exceeding 12 V, high-Q passives, 0.25um CMOS) for many years, customer support included.

to learn more about our kits. These kits are available directly from IHP or via Europractice (for SME and universities).

Design Tools:

advICo offers several design tools for IC design in the Cadence® environment. Tools for productivity enhancement (mainly for DRC), design conversion between different (IHP) technologies and calculator tools for enhanced simulation analysis (for broadband, wireless and other applications) can be chosen with different licensing options. Tell us if you need something special. We'll be happy to provide a solution.
