Blue Pearl Software suite transforms IC design analysis, CDC checking, SDC creation and validation

EDS Fair, YOKOHAMA, JAPAN: Blue Pearl Software has announced its new Blue Pearl Suite, the next generation electronic design automation (EDA) solution for automating design analysis, CDC (clock domain crossing) checking, SDC (Synopsis Design Constraints) creation, visualization, and validation.

Blue Pearl’s new suite transforms existing EDA tool flows with a new native Windows and Linux user experience. The Blue Pearl Suite gives users immediate feedback on design analysis and CDC checking, incorporating new visualization techniques for validating automatically generated timing constraints. It allows one-click viewing of CDC issues and false and multi-cycle paths directly within Blue Pearl Suite’s new Visual Verification Environment.

“If you compare our new generation of tools to how a typical EDA tool works, this approach is transformative,” said Ellis Smith, CEO, Blue Pearl Software. “We take complex design analysis techniques, SDC creation and validation techniques, and integrate them into a new, native Windows and Linux environment, using visual verification techniques.”

“This new generation of Blue Pearl tools is easy to use and looks great,” said John Taylor, senior staff engineer, KLA Tencor Corp.
