Celera, Alameda, Calif., the leader in fully automated, AI-enhanced analog design, is now sampling the first ever analog IC completely designed by an autonomous software platform.
\nUsing Celera’s ChipHUB platform, the company improved engineering productivity by 10x, allowing the design of a high-performance buck (DC-to-DC) converter from specification to manufacturing release in a matter of days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a major milestone for Celera and an important breakthrough for our customers,\u201d said Pat Brockett, Celera’s CEO. \u201cCelera has demonstrated that end-to-end automated design of high-performance analog ICs can be done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing our patented digital twin Nesto technology, we enable our customers to achieve full custom analog IC design in days, at a fraction of the of the cost of current design methods,\u201d said Alberto Viviani, Celera’s COO. \u201cIt’s very important to note that the resultant product designs are more than competitive with regard to die size (cost) and performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramesh Giri, the head of product definition and applications at Celera highlighted a critical benefit to business managers \u2013 \u201cOur design flow integrates an auto-generated behavioral model at the front-end that is tuned to actual silicon behavior. This allows system designers to do a comprehensive virtual bench road test, helping to reliably identify real-world system level issues at the front-end of the design process. This eliminates post-silicon fixes and enables faster time to market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis first customer product is a state-of-the-art high voltage step down converter for industrial and automotive applications,\u201d said Calum MacRae, CTO and founder at Celera. \u201cOur Nesto technology simplifies analog IC design, enabling even non-IC designers to generate custom silicon. A huge benefit of our Nesto technology is that the same algorithm can be used to quickly produce whole families of buck converters in hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calum added, \u201cOur IP is all in digital form. This allows us to train machine learning (ML) models, producing AI agents for analog design, layout, and modeling. The ability to generate large amounts of synthetic data positions Celera as the only company able to apply ML to analog design.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCelera’s patented technology will revolutionize the analog IC industry by making analog custom design available to all,\u201d said Pat Brockett. \u201cWe are already engaged with major customers designing products for consumer, data center, wireless, industrial, solar and automotive applications. This is a real example where AI is changing a hundred-billion-dollar industry and we are proud to say Celera is leading that change.\u201d<\/p>\n
