PDK101.com, is a small consulting company that specialized in physical verification, PDK/EDA methodology and IC design quality. We offers several quality, independent, and unbiased consulting services range from physical deck development, analog circuit block design and documentation, Design block and IP database and version control management, product/company.market study and review, final tape out design and layout datbase review.
Companies engaged in IC design rely on physical verification tools such as (Calibre™, Diva™, Dracula®, Assura™ ) physical verification tools to find layout errors before their designs go mask shop and later foundry. Long, extensive and complex rule decks define the manufacturing checks that physical verification tools conduct on these circuit designs.
Rule decks are modified many times and by many different engineers during their long life. Stringent quality control is paramount to ensuring the integrity of the decks. However, because of the difficulty of maintaining code that has passed between many different hands over a long period of time, redundancies, inefficiencies or (worst of all) errors are inevitable. This can result in time wasted by needless design iterations or even bad silicon.
PDK101.COM, can improve your physical verification cycle time by analyzing your existing verification methodology and by providing custom training in new technologies, or by offering our physical verification expertise to assist during your busiest times.
Business
Model (IPfarm©)
the optimal way
for you to
create, share and profit
from Circuit Design IP!
PDK101.COM has instituted a new Circuit Intellectual Property (IP) creation and sharing business model (IPfarm). IPfarm is an unique method for individual or companies to define, develop, control, share and profit from the Circuit Design Intellectual Property. PDK101.COM will utilizes its expertise, automatic QA flow, and industrial standards to qualify customer submitted IP. Based on customers' decisions, those qualified IP will be either isolated or available for all other PDK101 customers under share-exchange or fee-based. IPfarm provides an indepentent, efficient and central repository for IP development, cost sharing and knowledge buildup platform. All sort of IC Circuit design, IP blocks, design flow and best practices can be fully re-used at minimum or no cost to small and medium IC design houses.
Currently, PDK101.COM provides three different kinds of partner participation modes for IPfarm business.
General
contributor:
This group of interested parties will be able to contribute their
design specification, design concept, knowledge, test vectors, test
benches and
validation data into PDK101.com. There will a dedicate project area for
individual contribute to develop their projects and
deliverables. The
end products and documents will be further verified independently by
PDK101.COM team and then push into IP/knowledge repository. The
contributors have all the right to open or close such project to
general public. If the verified IP is open to general public, once it
has been selected and used by other members, there will be loyalty or
fee derived from that IP and reward back to initial contributors.
Premium
member:
This group of interested parties will be paying membership fee to
access all open IP database inside PDK101.com. Premier members have all
general contributors' right and privilege and submit and verify
incoming IP database.
All interested parties, please review and follow all Guidelines in the Handbook.
