Subject: What About Rivals To Simplex In Electromigration Analysis Tools?
Hi, John,
With our move to technologies below 0.18 and clock speeds in the upwards
of 300+ Mhz, we are finding the need to run electromigration analysis on
our signal nets. Unfortunately, most EM analysis tools available today
are for power nets. Have you heard anything from the masses about this?
So far, I've only uncovered ElectronStorm by Simplex as the only tool
currently in the market that does EM analysis on signal nets. Am I
missing something here? There's got to be more out there than this.
Avanti has something in the works for this, but it won't be available
until Q1/Q2 of 2002. What about Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor Graphics? Any
new startups? HELP!
