Nassda's HSIM Anchors SoC Verification Flow for Insyte
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 2002--
Nassda(TM) Corporation (Nasdaq:NSDA) today announced that
Innovative Systems & Technology Corporation (Insyte) is using Nassda's
HSIM(TM) hierarchical full-chip simulator and analysis tool for
verification of system-on-chip (SoC) integration, custom memories and
analog circuits in CMOS and BiCMOS technologies.
After HSIM demonstrated superior accuracy and solved performance
problems of other tools, Insyte purchased multiple HSIM licenses.
Insyte has integrated HSIM into its full-custom design flow, and
Insyte's engineers now rely on HSIM for verification of customized
embedded SRAMs and analog circuits. HSIM also anchors Insyte's SoC
verification flow, where it provides a significant advantage for
integration of intellectual property (IP) cores in SoC designs,
according to the company.
"We believe there is a strategic advantage in using a full-chip
transistor-level simulator for verification in an SoC flow," said
Parker Robinson, Vice-President Engineering at Insyte. "HSIM allows us
to run test suites validating that all of the IP in a design actually
functions together as it should. We think HSIM is not just a better
simulator but is in fact a strategic asset. It enables our designers
to try approaches they otherwise could not do, and allows them to do
more engineering work in the same time frame."
"As design complexity continues to increase, product quality and
on-time delivery still need to be maintained," said Sang Wang, CEO of
Nassda. "As shown by leading design companies like Insyte, HSIM's
unique combination of accuracy, capacity and speed offers a strategic
advantage in the design of high-quality, innovative ICs. We are
pleased to be supporting their design success."
About HSIM
HSIM provides detailed circuit-level analysis of timing and power
behavior and signal integrity effects. It solves the critical issue of
analyzing circuit behavior while taking into account the electrical
and parasitic effects of nanometer-scale silicon. It is ideal for
demanding analog, memory, mixed-signal and system-on-chip designs.
