Model Technology ModelSim Verilog Achieves Sign-Off Status at STMicroelectronics
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 2002--Model Technology
Inc., a Mentor Graphics Company (Nasdaq:MENT - news), today announced that
the ModelSim® hardware description language (HDL) simulation tool
has achieved Verilog sign-off status with STMicroelectronics.
The ModelSim simulator will be used to verify next-generation 0.18
and 0.13-micron designs for products within the global
telecommunications sector.
STMicroelectronics is a global independent semiconductor company
that designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of
semiconductor ICs and discrete devices used in a wide variety of
microelectronic applications, including telecom systems, computer
systems, consumer products, automotive products and industrial
automation and control systems. STMicroelectronics, as a leading
supplier of ASICs, has developed state of the art ASIC design flows
and optimized them for digital, analog or mixed signal applications.
"At STMicroelectronics, we are focused on satisfying the needs of
our customers," said Giacomo Piccini, TPA-DAS Semicustom Division
General Manager. "We have worked closely with Model Technology to
provide our customers with ModelSim sign-off for both standalone
Verilog and mixed language design flows."
Single Simulator For All Flows
With both VHDL and now Verilog sign-off at STMicroelectronics,
ModelSim provides a single simulation solution for any design flow.
The ModelSim tool's pioneering Single-Kernel Simulation technology
provides fast performance and consistent results regardless of the
language and the 64-bit simulation solutions can handle the largest
designs. ModelSim's continued focus on integrated debug and GUI
technology also ensures industry-leading ease of use in mixed-language
environments.
"STMicroelectronics and its customers are developing some of the
most advanced telecommunications-targeted designs," said John Lenyo,
director of marketing for Model Technology. "Verilog sign-off status
for ModelSim allows the customers of STMicroelectronics to work in
their environment of comfort, whether it's Verilog or VHDL."
