As the industry is moving towards deep sub micron technologies, Design Automation like custom scripts, GUIs for various components in CAD for Analog and Mixed Signal other than those provided by the EDA tool vendors help us to make our job faster, error and hassle free. We at Sankalp have been automating jobs which are cumbersome or repetitive in nature, improving both the productivity and quality of various tasks in CAD for Analog and Mixed Signal. Sankalp is the best place to find Design Automation Services for custom codes, methodologies and flows for your application/company. Apart from the Automation Solutions, the Sankalp Engineers can also add great value to the EDA domain services with new innovative ideas and algorithms, with the primary emphasis being on making our customer successful!

• Semi automated test bench generator with a bindkey based connection of stimulus to pins of symbol and useful in case top top level test bench creation which typically contain hundreds of pins.
• PDK Characterization Template with template based automated MOS characterizer for any pdk.
• Review Input Capture which is a package for capturing , storing and viewing the review inputs on the design database(schematic, layout and symbols ). This is implemented both in Laker and Cadence. Also, a Lessons learnt script tool to collect all the lessons learnt from every individual in a centralized place for all the lessons learnt can be searched using keywords and viewed in a user friendly html format in a browser across the company is used. Also, an automated collection of data from weekly xls and creates master xls.
• The automations developed for Physical Design/ Layout are Arbitrary Capacitor generator, RF Mixer Layout Automation, Placement LVS (paper presented at CDN Live 2009), Analog Layout Dummy Fillers, Analog Layout Matching pattern and verification.

Sankalp Semiconductor supports Design Automation activities in Tcl, Tk, Perl, Cadence-Skill, C and Java.

Sankalp has been working with multiple top EDA vendors to help them productize their EDA tools by providing user feedback and also helping them define unique features in coming up with a suite of EDA tools for CAD in Analog and Mixed Signal.
