Sound Layers

Solid tools for solid state !

Sound Layers provides custom software and consulting services for electrical design of "deep submicron" integrated circuits.

Sound Layers clients are primarily microprocessor design teams. These organizations buy the best software solutions for each design issue and tackle the problem of forming these disparate tools into a working design flow. In addition, new "in-house" tools are developed to address specific emerging problems or to more thoroughly address old problems as computers become more powerful.

The experience of Sound Layers includes the following topics.

CMOS circuit design, analog and digital
monolithic phase-lock loop design
clock and power distribution
floorplanning, automated layout, and full-chip assembly
reliability checks such as power supply IR drop, supply and signal net electromigration
automated circuit checks based on static analysis of Spice netlist
dynamic management of high-tech teams and resources
project scheduling proven by a successful track record
expert Perl programming and algorithm development - over 100,000 lines of code written and used in design and analysis
combining software from multiple vendors into a coherent design flow
