Technology Analyzer

Automated technology analysis delivering smarter, data-driven decisions

Accurate and accelerated process technology analysis

Analog, mixed-signal, and RF IP migration demands both precision and time—often significant time.

Traditional methods involve labor-intensive, manual cell-by-cell analysis of the source and target technologies to determine optimal cell mappings. This is not only tedious but also prone to delay and error.

The AMALIA Platform Technology Analyzer transforms this bottleneck into a rapid, scalable process. Using application-specific automation and machine learning algorithms, it performs comprehensive electrical analysis to identify the best target device mappings.  Analysis can be performed for all devices within a design or on selected devices.  Similarly, it can be performed on all or selected devices between PDKs.

The result is a clear, data-driven view of device behavior compared with the target PDK.  Early insights into potential migration challenges allow for smarter, cost-effective technology decisions and smooth downstream design translation.

What once took months can now be accomplished in weeks—or even days. The Technology Analyzer outputs a complete and verified mapping file, which becomes the cornerstone for seamless schematic and layout migration in subsequent steps.

Analyzing Process Technology for 40nm to 22nm RF Transceiver IP Migration

Thalia successfully helped a leading fabless semiconductor company assess the viability of migrating their RF Transceiver IP from 40nm to 22nm in just four weeks, three times faster than the 12 weeks they had anticipated using a manual approach. Not only did this save them time and money, it also, more importantly, enabled a faster time to market for their new range.
