Apache Joins Synopsys' in-Sync Program
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Dec. 4, 2003—
Apache Design Solutions, a provider of physical design
integrity solutions for system-on-chip (SoC) designs, today announced
it has joined the Synopsys in-Sync(R) interoperability program.
Through the in-Sync program, Apache's RedHawk-SDL, a full-chip
Vectorless Dynamic(TM) physical power solution, will interface with
Synopsys' PrimeTime(R) static timing analyzer.
"We joined the Synopsys in-Sync Program to facilitate
interoperability between Apache's Red Hawk and Synopsys' PrimeTime,"
noted Keith Mueller, vice president of sales and marketing at Apache.
"Apache's participation in the in-Sync program will enable our mutual
customers' design flows to run more smoothly."
About RedHawk-SDL:
Apache's flagship RedHawk-SDL fills the critical need for physical
power flows in 130nm, 90nm and 65nm SoC designs. RedHawk provides a
full-chip Vectorless Dynamic(TM) physical power solution capable of
addressing dynamic power issues such as simultaneous switching outputs
(SSO) for core, memory, clock and I/O, as well as the effects of
on-chip inductance, package models, and decoupling capacitance.
RedHawk-SDL enables designers to examine the power and timing
impacts on an SoC caused by physical implementation decisions made
from the early design stage to final verification. The dramatic
cell-based speed of RedHawk-SDL is realized with transistor-level
accuracy. RedHawk-SDL also addresses verification issues associated
with low-power techniques such as leakage current, power gating,
multiple voltages and multiple thresholds.
About Apache Design Solutions
Apache is a provider of innovative next-generation physical design
integrity software that accelerates the design process and guarantees
the reliability of massive system-on-chip semiconductors operating at
gigahertz frequencies. By providing tools for power, timing, and
system I/O integrity, Apache enables leading networking, wireless,
communication, consumer, and semiconductor companies to develop highly
