PITTSBURGH, June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS (NASDAQ:
ANSS) and subsidiary Apache Design announced today that their
RedHawk™ and Totem™ products achieved TSMC Phase I 20 nm
certification. TSMC certified the tools for 20 nm design rule
manuals (DRMs) and SPICE models. Early adopters are using the flows
and tools while close collaboration continues between TSMC, ANSYS,
Apache and designers.

RedHawk and Totem provide power, noise and reliability signoff
for system-on-chip and mixed-signal designs at advanced technology
nodes. RedHawk also addresses electromigration by delivering
current direction-aware, metal topology-aware and temperature-aware
checks as well as expanded capabilities to support TSMC's 20 nm
electromigration rules. Totem provides full-chip, layout-based
power and noise analysis for analog and mixed-signal designs.
In addition, ANSYS technologies interface with TSMC's 3D-IC flow
to deliver accurate thermal profiles through iterative analysis of
power maps and boundary conditions.
"Apache delivers innovative solutions that address power, noise
and reliability challenges for the most advanced process nodes and
emerging design technologies," said Andrew
Yang, president of Apache, a subsidiary of ANSYS. "Our
collaboration with TSMC enables us to provide optimized tools and
methodologies for advanced-technology designers."
"With ANSYS and Apache 20 nm certification at TSMC, companies
will be able to produce more robust designs and deliver
next-generation products to the marketplace," said Suk Lee, TSMC senior director, design
infrastructure marketing division.
The ANSYS/Apache portfolio of product offerings will be
showcased at DAC exhibit booth #1813.
