Global Unichip selects Lorentz's PeakView EM design and verification platform

MILPITAS, USA: Lorentz Solution Inc. announced that Global Unichip Corp. (GUC) has adopted PeakView Electromagnetic (EM) Design and Verification tool suite to design a broad range of complex passive components used in their Gbps level high speed production-proven total solution.

With a focused team of high-speed circuit designers located across the globe and limited EM support resources, GUC chose PeakView based on its highly efficient software architecture that combined full-wave EM synthesis with layout EM extraction and complex model generation for advanced passive device modeling in an intuitive environment which seamlessly integrated into their circuit design flow.

GUC is a global SoC (Silicon on Chip) turnkey service company staffed with highly technical engineering teams using advanced EDA tools, delivering best price performance silicon solution by partnering with TSMC and leveraging its advanced processes.

With the focus to enrich their RF/High-speed link IP portfolio to compete for design wins globally, GUC adopted PeakView to develop and expand the foundry’s passive device library offerings to address their own high speed requirements.

“In our evaluation, PeakView’s EM engine had accurately predicted our engineering specifications in our recent 10G project using advanced process,” said Jen-Tai Hsu, Director of USA Design Center at GUC. “PeakView’s support of our foundry PDK enabled our designers to become very effective within days to establish confidence in EM simulation accuracy and to focus more of their time on design optimization.”

Dr. Hsu continued: “Since Lorentz has a long standing relationship with our foundry partner and their mutual strategic RF partners, my team recognizes the importance of adopting an EDA tool that has already been qualified for multiple advanced processes in our fab with proven production silicons.”

Jinsong Zhao, President and CEO of Lorentz Solution, commented: ”We are very pleased that Global Unichip becomes our strategic valued customer, recognizing Peakview’s technical strengths and market presence encompassed by our long-standing relationship with TSMC. Once again, Lorentz Solution is delivering on its founding vision in ensuring successful RF/High Speed design closure with Peakview’s EM design and verification platform, particularly within the foundry’s design ecosystem.”
