Knowledge Driven Implementation

Powerful combination of user design knowledge and technologically advanced tools. User knowledge includes both timing specifications and driving the automatic and autointeractive tools. The tools have the device knowledge so the user doesn’t need to know all the details.

SMARTspecs - Allows the designer to fully communicate his design requirements to the implementation tools so the tools can meet the specs (total control)

SMARTguide - Offers a flexible way to achieve more successful turns per day by producing predictable results from a previous design iteration.

AutoInteractive tools - Even though most designs complete automatically, sometimes difficult requirements require more effort. Tools can leverage user knowledge of the design. The M1 tools give you the control over the tools to push them beyond the usual barriers.

Graphical Interactive Tools - EPIC and the Floorplanner give you even more control by providing a graphical means to view and force placement and routing of the device.
