Magma's QuickCap NX Sets New Standard in Parasitic Capacitance Extraction for 90nm Designs

Magma Design Automation Inc., a provider of chip design solutions, today announced QuickCap NX, an enhanced version of its gold-standard QuickCap parasitic capacitance extraction tool. The key capabilities that have been added allow the tool to better address design challenges that occur in 90-nanometer (nm) and smaller process technologies. With advanced new process modeling, technology model encryption, a parallel execution mode, reference-level SPICE netlist generation and a new 3D graphics viewer, users can shorten the design cycle by more accurately predicting silicon performance.
