Core offering

Thalia Design Automation develops and sells the AMALIA Platform, an end-to-end AI/ML-powered software suite that automates the migration of analog, mixed-signal and RF semiconductor IP designs across process nodes. The platform integrates four modules — Technology Analyzer, Circuit Porting Suite, Design Enabler, and Layout Automation Suite — covering the complete migration workflow from device mapping and schematic porting through design centering to layout automation, and is licensed to semiconductor companies including IP vendors, fabless firms, IDMs, and foundries.

Product overview

Thalia Design Automation offers AMALIA, a comprehensive end-to-end IP reuse platform specifically designed for analog, mixed-signal, and RF semiconductor design migration. The platform comprises four integrated modules: Technology Analyzer (automated device mapping using ML), Circuit Porting Suite (schematic migration available in Core, Professional, and Advanced tiers), Design Enabler (AI-powered design centering), and Layout Automation Suite (layout porting with AI-driven device stretching and intelligent routing). The platform addresses the complete migration workflow from initial technology analysis through to manufacturing-ready layout, reducing design cycle times by up to 40%.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Aldec: Privately-held mixed-signal and HDL simulation EDA provider with Active-HDL and Riviera-PRO products. Adjacent competitor serving verification-led analog/mixed-signal designers, smaller scale than the Big Three EDA incumbents.
• Diagonal Computing: Early-stage startup applying AI/automation to analog circuit synthesis and migration, addressing the same analog/RF design productivity gap that AMALIA targets. Closest pure-play emerging competitor.
• Agnisys: EDA startup focused on automated register and IP specification/verification for analog and digital designs. Addresses adjacent automation pain points in the IP creation flow that Thalia customers also face during migration.

Broad incumbents

• Cadence Design Systems: Dominant EDA vendor offering the Virtuoso analog/mixed-signal platform that Thalia integrates with via the Connections EDA Program. Cadence's custom design suite addresses the same analog IP creation/migration workflow Thalia serves, and is both a partner and a competitor.
• Synopsys: Major EDA incumbent with the Custom Compiler and PrimeSim analog/mixed-signal toolchain. Synopsys previously acquired Ciranova, a startup that targeted analog layout automation, directly competing with Thalia's Layout Automation Suite.
• Siemens EDA (formerly Mentor Graphics): Analog FastSPICE (AFS) and Tanner EDA portfolios overlap with Thalia's analog verification and migration flow. Siemens is also a commercial partner via Cre8Ventures Digital Twin Marketplace and AFS integration in AMALIA.
• Keysight Technologies: PathWave/Advanced Design System (ADS) is the leading RF/microwave EDA platform, directly overlapping with Thalia's RF IP migration use cases for communications, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth customers.

Regional players

• Zuken: Japan-headquartered EDA vendor with CR-8000 and mixed-signal/PCB platforms. Comparable analog and mixed-signal EDA capabilities, primarily serving APAC customers rather than the European/Israeli base Thalia targets.

Others

• Dolphin Design: French semiconductor IP vendor specializing in power management and analog/mixed-signal IP. Strategic customer and partner of Thalia for migrating IP across nodes — not a competitor but a benchmark for the type of customer Thalia enables.
• Codasip: German RISC-V processor IP and EDA company led by Ron Black, who also sits on Thalia's board. Adjacent in the semiconductor IP/EDA ecosystem but addresses processor design rather than analog migration.
