Cadence Synthesis Solution Endorsed by Oki Semiconductor
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2001--Cadence Design
Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CDN), the world's leading supplier of electronic
design products and services, today announced Oki Semiconductor, a
leading supplier of advanced integrated circuits, is providing support
for customers wishing to use Cadence® BuildGates® synthesis tool
in their design flows. Oki chose to support BuildGates synthesis tool
in the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design flow in
response to demand from telecommunications, networking, and consumer
electronics customers.
``We have seen a rapid increase in the use of Cadence BuildGates by
our customers,'' said Jamshed Qamar, vice president, engineering, Oki
Semiconductor. ``As we drive our technologies to be smaller and faster,
we expect a wider adoption of the synthesis engine provided by
BuildGates.''
Responding to customer demand for the support of BuildGates, Oki
has announced synthesis library support for BuildGates tools for the
entire Standard Cell/Gate Array product-line in 0.16-micron,
0.25-micron, and 0.35-micron technologies. Prospective Oki customers
can download the design kits from the Oki design kits Website. Prior
registration is required to access this Website.
``We are pleased that Oki is working with us to enable the success
of our mutual customers doing high-performance, high-speed ASIC
design,'' said Glen S. Fukushima, president and CEO of Cadence Design
Systems, Japan.
About Cadence SP&R
Cadence SP&R consists of three products: BuildGates synthesis,
Physically Knowledgeable Synthesis (PKS) physical synthesis, and
Silicon Ensemble(TM) PKS (SE-PKS) optimization place-and-route. This
SP&R solution is superior to heterogeneous IC design environments, as
it features correlation within three percent through common timing,
synthesis, placement, and routing engines used by both logic designers
and physical designers.
About BuildGates
BuildGates synthesis enables customers to synthesize multi-million
gate designs rapidly with superior results. BuildGates has a built-in,
high-capacity, high-performance timing analysis tool that enables
productive timing closure. The distributed synthesis feature built
into BuildGates leverages modern networked compute environments and
dramatically reduces synthesis runtime for large design.
Pricing and Availability
BuildGates synthesis tool is available worldwide for UNIX-based
workstations from Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems, and for
AIX-based workstations from IBM. One-year U.S. list prices start at
$12,000. For information on international pricing, please contact a
