Limerick, IRELAND, 1 November 2010: HiPerDevGen, the Analog Layout Acceleration software tool from IC Mask Design / Tanner EDA has been shortlisted for a prestigious European Electronics Industry Award.
HiPerDevGen provides a dramatic acceleration of the analog layout design process through the automatic recognition and generation of common analog structures. The software understands the functional requirements of designs, and with an understanding and implementation of more than 20 process artefacts, generates high quality and consistent output.
Speaking on the shortlist nomination, Fergal Brosnan, CEO of IC Mask Design said, “To be shortlisted for this award alongside the major players in the EDA industry is a significant achievement for a company like IC Mask Design, and highlights the industry recognition we have received for our technology”.
The Elektra awards ceremony will be held on 9 December in London. There are 16 separate awards categories. Chosen by an independent panel of judges, IC Mask Design is a finalist in the “Design Tools and Software Development” category. Also shortlisted are Cadence Design Systems, Lattice Semiconductor, Mentor Graphics, MontaVista Software and Synopsys.
