Incentia's Physical Synthesis Closes Timing for Divio's MPEG4 Design
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 30, 2002--Incentia
Design Systems, Inc., an EDA company in the timing and synthesis
market, announced today that Divio Inc., a pioneer in integrated
digital video chip designs, has taped out a design and improved the
timing on its critical path using results from Incentia's DesignCraft
Pro(TM) physical synthesis software. In addition, Divio uses
Incentia's static timing analyzer, TimeCraft(TM), in its digital video
design flow.
"We are using Incentia's physical synthesis product, DesignCraft
Pro, and static timing analyzer, TimeCraft, for our designs," said
Frank Lin, Director of CAD, at Divio Inc. "Recently, we struggled with
timing closure between synthesis and layout. We tried Incentia's
physical synthesis and it improved our critical path by 10
nanoseconds. We taped out the design using the results, and are
pleased with the capabilities of the Incentia products and the
Company's technical support."
Incentia's static timing analysis and synthesis tools are being
used to design Divio's digital video semiconductor products for next
generation solid-state, wireless and networked consumer electronics.
Divio expertise targets products requiring MPEG-4, DV and/or MJPEG
technology as well as digital image processing and video decoding.
