Western Semiconductor is an EDA-focused company operating in the semiconductor manufacturing sector, based in Tempe, Arizona. It develops integrated platforms for analog and digital IC design that unify schematic, layout, simulation, and timing in a single workflow. The BASIC component provides a front-end design environment, while Digital Rails delivers digital simulation and optimized place-and-route, designed to work in concert with BASIC. The PREMIUM tier expands these capabilities with automation and analytics for migration, parasitic-aware optimization, and EM-aware routing, with the aim of reducing design times and giving designers tighter control over layouts and IP development. The company targets IC designers and design teams seeking end-to-end tools that support IP creation and reuse across multiple foundries, helping to reduce outsourcing and protect IP. A notable development in its history occurred in 2017 when Analog Rails Front-end was announced, described as a lower-cost IC design environment that combines schematic and simulation capabilities.
