The Lynx Design System enabled Picochip’s engineering team to quickly and efficiently upgrade to a pre-tested 40-nm Galaxy-based production design flow, saving significant time and effort compared to developing their own flow. In addition, Lynx’s Foundry-Ready System enabled Picochip’s engineers to begin design work within two weeks of initial deployment, accelerating their project start date by an estimated eight weeks.

The Lynx Design System is a complete chip design environment that includes a production-proven design flow enabled by Galaxy tools with innovative visualization capabilities to help create and track designs throughout the implementation cycle. Picochip adopted Lynx to mitigate the cost and risk of creating and maintaining a new production flow for its first 40-nm design and to meet an aggressive project schedule. Using Lynx, Picochip’s engineers were able to immediately focus on optimizing the new design to meet both their 1 GHz performance target and aggressive development cycle.
