LyricT offers detailed floorplanning, standard/custom cell placement, interactive editing as well as automatic routing - enabling users to achieve a higher productivity and reduce die size.

"Pulsic's unified shape-based platform has achieved significant design wins throughout its markets, and India is a milestone objective for our roadmap," said Kevin Steptoe, Vice President of Marketing for Pulsic. He continued, "Increasingly Lyric is finding application in complex and high volume designs where yield and performance are key objectives. D'gipro provided us with a reliable and well-regarded distribution channel for LyricT and was the natural step forward to distribute our software in India."

Mr S. Ramachandran, Managing Director of D'GIPRO Design Automation & Marketing Pvt. Ltd commented, "Lyric will provide India's reputable design and manufacture houses with access to Lyric as a valuable DFM and efficiency tool. The analog and mixed signal market in India is growing, and this is the right time for Pulsic to be in the market. Our customers will surely see a productivity gain by using Lyric in their design flow."

"D'gipro has been in the Indian VLSI tool market since 1989 and has been a successful distribution company. The boom in the Indian VLSI design industry, with many of the multinationals having design centres in India, has prompted EDA vendors to start working with D'gipro to be successful in the India market in the long term," Mr S. Ramachandran concluded.
