Magma Design Automation is one of the largest, fastest-growing providers of electronic design automation (EDA) software. Magma products are used by the world's major semiconductor manufacturers to design the most complex, high-performance integrated circuits being made today. The company was founded in 1997 – for some company milestones, see "Magma History" – on the concept of combining logic design and physical design into a single system to better address emerging deep submicron design challenges. Magma is also the first to combine analog and digital design into a single platform. Unlike other solutions, Magma tightly integrates mixed-signal implementation with digital implementation, circuit simulation, transistor-level extraction and verification – providing a quantum leap in efficiency and productivity for analog designers.
To create and deliver the best EDA software products and solutions, encompassing IC design from concept to completion, enabling our customers' commercial success.
Magma licenses its design automation software to semiconductor manufacturers and electronic products companies around the world. Among them: Broadcom, Infineon, NEC Electronics, NVIDIA, Samsung, Texas Instruments and Toshiba.
