About Precision Innovations

Precision Innovations was launched in 2019 to develop and deliver Industrial quality open-source solutions using OpenROAD™ as the foundational application for ASIC and SoC IC design software.
 
OpenROAD targets an autonomous, No-Human-In-the-Loop design NHIL design with a 24-hour turnaround time and no loss of PPA design quality.
 
Precision’ solutions enable Rapid Design exploration and RTL-GDSII implementation that reduce design costs, break down barriers to gain expertise, deliver on schedule and tool access that currently prevent designers from innovating and implementing at full potential.
 
Precision closes these critical gaps by developing and supporting closed-tool extensions to OpenROAD that enable differentiated features, flows and PDKS across the technology spectrum including advance nodes for commercial users and ecosystem partners.
