Tanner EDA has released a Linux version of its HiPer Silicon full-flow design suite, giving designers a complete analogue design flow from schematic capture, circuit simulation, and waveform probing to physical layout and verification. Merging the functionality of the Windows and Linux product lines, HiPer Silicon v15.02 includes all the functionality of the HiPer Silicon v15 while allowing customers on either platform to choose, and change as desired, between the Windows and the Linux platforms. Key features and functionality in the tool include a complete redesign of the waveform editor product W-Edit, which provides designers with a signal analysis platform rather than simple layout views; the addition of a new database for the storage and management of simulation data; and integration with an optional add-in HiPer DevGen, the newest addition to tool portfolio that offers enhanced device and structure generation for layout productivity.
