SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 28, 2014 – TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, today announced participation at the Design Automation Conference (DAC) on June 2-4, 2014, providing several presentations and demonstrations with its major design partners including: Agilent Technologies, Apache Design Solutions, Cadence Design Systems, Mentor Graphics, and Tanner EDA. TowerJazz has participated at DAC for the past few years to showcase its technologies and solutions for best design first time success. This year, TowerJazz will also present its new enterprise, TowerJazz Panasonic Semiconductor Company which provides opportunities for its customers to utilize additional capacity as well as leading edge 45nm CMOS, 65nm RF CMOS and 65nm 1.12um pixel technologies.
TowerJazz is inviting DAC attendees to join its company representatives along with its partners at TowerJazz’s booth (#1301) for seminars and demos showcasing its latest developments, wide variety of specialty process technologies and world-class design enablement platforms. TowerJazz will present design flows from leading EDA vendors such as Apache, Cadence, Mentor, and Tanner and discuss custom design tools, design services and IPs that have enabled its customers to shorten their design cycles with first silicon success and reduced costs. Each technical presentation will be followed by a live demo of the flow. Also, Agilent PDK demos for TowerJazz's SiGe BiCMOS and SOI technologies are available and can be scheduled with a representative at the TowerJazz booth.
“Our work and support with our EDA partners improves the design flow for our mutual customers. We are constantly expanding our relationships with our long-time design partners and forming new relationships such as the one with Apache. By working closely with all our design partners, we enable our customers to use the most updated EDA tools along with our industry leading technology. At DAC we are also excited to highlight our offerings through TowerJazz Panasonic Semiconductor Company and talk about our expanded capacity to better serve our customers’ growing needs,” said Ori Galzur, Vice President of the TowerJazz VLSI Design Center.
