Figure 4: SGS-THOMSON - CUSTOMER interfaces

Customer design interface

SGS-THOMSON Micorelectronics has developed

several interfaces for customers giving them easy

and flexible design approaches for STKM2000.

Users can access Analog Design System (A.D.S.):

q

via SGS-THOMSON design centers

q

via SGS-THOMSON associated design centers

q

via CAE workstations

CA E wor s t at ion c apabilit ies ar e und er

development on:

q

Dazix System

q

Mentor Graphics

q

Sun

In that case,direct interfaces will be offered in order

to make design implementation with A.D.S. (layout

and test generations).

According to these design possibilities,

SGS- THOMSON defines 3 main interfaces.

Figure 4 outlines these interfaces. Each interface

details the responsibilities of customer and

SGS-THOMSON during circuit development flow.
