LogicVision and Dolphin Technology Partner on Embedded Test
LogicVision Uses Dolphin Technology Memory and Libraries in Corporate Training Material
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 2002--LogicVision,
Inc., (Nasdaq:LGVN - news), a leading provider of embedded test IP for
integrated circuits and systems, today launched a broad partnership
with Dolphin Technology, Inc., a provider of performance-optimized SoC
memory cores and performance-matched standard cell libraries and
Input/Outputs (IOs).
The partnership between Dolphin and LogicVision will enable
tighter integration of memory and logic library SoC design elements
with embedded test SoC design techniques. LogicVision and Dolphin are
planning for an integrated, self-test and repairable memory capability
for Dolphin's high-performance memory offerings. As part of the
agreement, Dolphin's performance memory cores and standard cell
libraries will become the standard design elements in LogicVision's IP
training and tutorial material.
"By launching this partnership with LogicVision, we're able to
provide a comprehensive performance solution to our customers," said
Mo Tamjidi, president of Dolphin. "Our customers deploy Dolphin's
performance products in designs which require reliability. With
LogicVision, we can deliver further on those requirements."
"Our partnership with Dolphin represents a major step toward fully
integrated memory cores and library SoC design elements with embedded
test," noted Mukesh Mowji, vice president of Marketing at LogicVision.
"As a result of this collaboration, we expect to offer our mutual
customers the opportunity to acquire performance-optimized,
high-quality design elements for very dense, highly complex SoC
designs. We look forward to the growth of this partnership and the
benefits that it will bring to our customers."
