Objetivo
- Speed up the development time and reduce the risk of the introduction of a new CAD tool byachieving a simple and intuitive, yet powerful and flexible, user interface and software structure.
- Decrease the development cost of ICs by utilising a development tool which is capable of running under a variety of operating systems and hardware platforms, including workstations as well as PCs.
- Feedback from the participating ASIC design companies to the software developers for user driven optimisation of PARIS with respect to the user's experience and requirements.
- Improvement of the adaptability of the software to the user's style as well as better understanding of the designer's philosophy and handling practice.
- Achieve a better market acceptance by cooperation with industrial users and providing a fully evaluated and demonstrated tool in a reference project for potential customers.
In order to reduce costs and increase the productivity in integrated circuit and system design, the new design tool PARIS was developed and combined with a technology independent layout module generator for the realisation of complex mixed-signal circuits. PARIS will be evaluated in the course of this project by using it in the design of a sensor ASIC. Major aspects of the evaluation will be the optimisation of the user interface, the enhancement of the module generators as well as the streamlining of technology file generation and administration. Compliance of the tool's interfaces with a number of industry standard data formats will be verified by cross-checking the layout and mask data with renowned manufacturers' database specifications.
