ELECTRONIC DESIGN AUTOMATION AND SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY Robust Chip provides efficient and accurate simulation technology, capable of modeling the interaction between circuit operation and various fundamental semiconductor effects in a form that can be used by circuit and chip designers. LEAP: SOFT ERROR HARD LAYOUT METHODOLOGY AND LAYOUT IP LEAP is Robust Chip Inc.'s unique new RHBD layout methodology which dramatically reduces single event generated soft error rates, with negligable speed, power, and area penalties. LEAP stands for Layout design through Error Aware Positioning. The technique has been developed with support from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), and is patent pending. See our APPLICATION area about available LEAP cell layout IP, and support for implementation and simulation of LEAP-based layouts.
