SAN JOSE, Calif., June 14, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Magma® Design Automation Inc. (Nasdaq:LAVA), a provider of chip design software, today announced the opportunity to download a free-trial version of the Titan™ Mixed-Signal Platform and analog design accelerators. This is the next phase of the "Titan Up!" program, which aims to educate analog designers about the latest technologies for analog and mixed-signal design.
Completing a simple online request lets designers use the software for 60 days at no charge. The "Titan Up!" free trial includes a software download and tutorial. Designers install the Titan Mixed-Signal Platform, along with Titan ADX and Titan AVP analog design accelerators. The tutorial guides them through creating and optimizing an analog design circuit using a prepared design example and Magma's FlexCell analog IP technology.
The "Titan Up!" program is available to current and prospective Magma customers. Designers can access the software as well as the "Titan Up!" online quizzes by visiting www.magma-da.com/TitanUp.
Analog design has traditionally been a manual, time-consuming task and reusing analog IP has been difficult, if not impossible. The Titan family of analog/mixed-signal design solutions delivers breakthrough capabilities, including layout-aware schematic design; rapid design exploration and optimization; dramatically improved productivity for layout designers; analog design reuse; and automated process migration. To highlight these solutions, the interactive "Titan Up!" program includes a series of online quizzes and a free trial of the Titan software, providing a designer-friendly introduction to Magma's analog/mixed-signal design solutions.
Magma will demonstrate Titan and its entire line of chip design software in Booth #602 at the 47th Design Automation Conference (DAC) June 14-16 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif. For information about Magma's activities at DAC, visit www.magma-da.com/DAC2010.
