American Semiconductor Adopts Incentia¡¦s DesignCraft Logic Synthesis Solution in its Mixed-signal Design Flow
Santa Clara, California, and Boise, Idaho, USA ¡V February 23, 2011 ¡VIncentia Design Systems, Inc., a technology leader in timing analysis, logic synthesis, and design closure solutions, today announced that American Semiconductor has adopted Incentia¡¦s DesignCraft? logic synthesis software in its mixed-signal ASIC design flow. DesignCraft is a complete logic synthesis tool that optimizes for area, power, timing, and design-for-testability (DFT). It offers a more affordable synthesis solution with the most aggressive area and power reduction. DesignCraft met American Semiconductor¡¦s requirements in quality of results, ease of use and fast turnaround.
¡§American Semiconductor provides foundry and design services for all aspects of wafer fabrication, process development and ASIC design,¡¨ said Rich Chaney, General Manager of American Semiconductor. ¡§We recently implemented Incentia¡¦s DesignCraft synthesis tool into our ASIC design flow for a mixed-signal microcontroller with a very compressed schedule. We were very impressed with the ease of use, quality of results and the overall value of this tool, as well as Incentia¡¦s prompt and professional customer supports. We are confident that DesignCraft will be capable of handling our more complex designs in the future.¡¨
¡§We are pleased that American Semiconductor selected DesignCraft for their mixed-signal design flow,¡¨ said Ihao Chen, president and CEO of Incentia. ¡§DesignCraft met the requirements in quality of results, fast adoption, affordability, and fast turnaround. American Semiconductor¡¦s successful tape-out demonstrated DesignCraft¡¦s proven product quality, and best overall value.¡¨
