Tanner and Dongbu HiTek release PDK for BCDMOS chips

Tanner EDA and Dongbu HiTek have finalized qualification of Dongbu HiTek’s 0.18um BD180LV process design kit (PDK). The BD180LV kit integrates seamlessly into Tanner’s tool flow. Designers using Tanner EDA’s analog design suite, HiPer Silicon, will have certified libraries to draw on as they create ICs for production at Dongbu HiTek foundries.

Earlier in 2011, Tanner EDA and Dongbu HiTek had announced that they were jointly developing foundry-certified PDKs. This BCDMOS process is ideal for integrating analog circuits (using Bipolar), logic circuits (using CMOS) and high-voltage circuits (using DMOS) all on the same chip.
