SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2003--Circuit
Semantics, Inc. (CSI), a leading provider of next-generation modeling
and characterization solutions for high-performance integrated circuit
(IC) design, today announced that it has signed up for Synopsys'
Milkyway(TM) Access Program (MAP-in(SM)). MAP-in gives members such as
Circuit Semantics free access to the Milkyway application programming
interfaces (APIs) for integration development into the widely used
Milkyway design database.
