Advinno to provide sales and support for full-flow analog IC design tool suite

MONROVIA, California – May 19, 2010 – Tanner EDA, the catalyst for innovation for the design, layout and verification of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) has appointed Advinno Technologies Pte. Ltd. of Singapore to provide regional representation in Southeast Asia. Advinno will provide sales and support for all Tanner EDA products in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia.

The agreement covers sales of Tanner’s full-flow analog IC design suite, HiPer Silicon, as well as related specialty design tools and services. HiPer Silicon gives designers a complete analog design flow, from schematic capture, circuit simulation, and waveform probing to physical layout and verification, which is ideal for analog, mixed-signal, RF, and MEMS IC design. The integrated tool suite shares a common architecture and common user interface that is consistent across all tools, resulting in a comprehensive, unified software solution. Over 5,000 customers worldwide use some or all of the HiPer Silicon suite to maximize design productivity in areas such as Verilog-A simulation, device layout acceleration, interactive auto-routing, foundry-compatible physical verification, and parasitic extraction.

Advinno Technologies is a privately-held design solution company incorporated in Singapore and with offices in China, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The company provides customers with best-in-class solutions such as electronic design automation (EDA), intellectual property (IP), FPGA and ASIC, and embedded as well as design services, training and consultation.
