InCyte facilitates the rapid and accurate estimation of chip cost, yield, die size, power and leakage, to within five to ten percent accuracy of final silicon, and enables users to make architectural and economic comparisons by visualizing designs across various technology nodes, process variants and IP options. The no-cost version of InCyte currently available at ChipEstimate.com may be upgraded to include chip estimations specific to individual foundries and Intellectual Property (IP) vendors' datasets. Also available as an InCyte upgrade, the InCyte IC Economic Analysis Engine provides users with accurate estimations of final packaged chip cost. The engine draws upon industry average silicon wafer pricing, defect density, test & assembly pricing, and package pricing data to calculate reliable and realistic IC cost forecasts.
"The momentum behind ChipEstimate.com is simultaneously staggering and encouraging," said Adam Traidman, president of Giga Scale IC. "With dozens of users continuing to register daily, and thousands of designs estimated to date, the InCyte community is growing by leaps and bounds. We are confident in interpreting this strong and sustained interest as proof of the need for chip estimation and architectural analysis software for the electronics design community."
InCyte Availability and Upgrade Options
A free, time-unlimited version of InCyte is currently available for download at www.ChipEstimate.com. Upgrades from the downloadable version to a subscription version provide access to IP vendor and foundry specific technology data for increased estimation accuracy, as well as access to the IC Economic Analysis Engine, which accurately calculates final packaged chip cost. Detailed descriptions of these and other upgrade options may be found at www.ChipEstimate.com. Upgrades begin at $1,500 per month for a single user license.
About Giga Scale IC & ChipEstimate.com
Giga Scale IC launched ChipEstimate.com to provide designers with upgradeable software that estimates design costs early in the design cycle. InCyte users can estimate design specifications such as die size, yield, power, leakage, and cost, and also perform comparison and tradeoff analysis to minimize cost, reduce risk, and speed time to market.
