SAN JOSE, Calif., October 10, 2011 - Magma® Design Automation (Nasdaq: LAVA), a provider of chip design software, brings its Silicon One Seminar Series to Europe next month, with one-day seminars to be held in the UK and France. The European dates are part of a global roadshow which includes events in the US, Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan and Israel. Magma will host the France seminar on Tuesday 8th November at Sophia Antipolis, and on Thursday 10th November in London.

Each one-day seminar will comprise two technology tracks, entitled "Leading-Edge System-on-Chip Performance in Half the Time" (featuring Magma’s Talus® and Tekton™ Technologies) and "Advanced Analog and Mixed-Signal Design in Half the Time" (to include Titan™ and FineSim™ Technologies).

Attendees will learn how innovative solutions are helping to address the critical emerging silicon challenges faced by the industry, including the convergence of silicon into true mixed-signal designs, increasing analog IP content in digital SoC designs, and the emergence of greater digital content in analog devices. The seminars will also offer keynote presentations covering technology trends and the “next hot topics” on the horizon.

Registration is free of charge and open to SoC integration and implementation engineers, designers working on advanced-node SoC designs, analog/mixed-signal design engineers and layout designers, analog/mixed-signal IP developers, memory designers, project managers, design engineers and CAD/Methodology engineers. Attendees will also be entered into a prize draw to win an Apple iPad 2.
