SANTA CLARA, CA and HSINCHU, TAIWAN--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 20, 2005 -- Incentia Design Systems, Inc., an EDA company in the timing and synthesis market, today announced that Faraday Technology Corporation (TAIEX:3035), a leading provider of ASIC design services and silicon IP, has selected Incentia's timing analyzer, TimeCraft(TM), for its standard Design Kit.
One of the benefits provided by Faraday's design service is the availability of a variety of qualified EDA tools to customers. With TimeCraft added to the already rich array of tools, Faraday has further strengthened its capability to perform full-chip and gate-level static timing analysis quickly and accurately.
"Our goal is to achieve first-cut design success which would ultimately shorten the time-to-market," said Jim Wang, Director of Design Development at Faraday. "Incentia's timing software performance and capacity has proven itself capable of meeting our objectives, and worthy to be included in our Design Kits."
Ever since Faraday joined Incentia's LibCraft(TM) Library partnership program in 2001, the two companies have been working closely to achieve quality ASIC designs. By adopting TimeCraft within its design kits, Faraday further enhances its ASIC service performance hence providing significant competitive edge to customers.
