Re: Magma - Suggestions

Magama is a very good toolto do your place and route......especially if your design is small then magma can speed up lot of things with little effort and finally u need only signoff runs of calibre and primetime to attain closure... it is easy to master with much of self explainatory commands...even hunch works well with it....
gud luck

magma u can learn tools and commands within 2 days.
new user to physical design can understand full flow thoroughly in short span.
my best idea if u wanna sign-off ur design short time then u can proceeed magma.

No sure whether you guys do have the tapeout experience with magma or not when you say something like that. Indeed Magma is a good tool, but in order to professionally handle it, it will long time.

cdic to be frank with you.. ive not worked in magma.. but our univ guys have worked with magma and they have designed a GSM chip which they managed to tapeout in some foundry in taiwan..BUT the question of professionalism does linger in everyones mind..

anyways share your experience

with regards,
