eInfochips Selects Cadence Incisive Verification Platform; Cadence Establishes Global Customer Connection with eInfochips in the Design Chain
BANGALORE, India—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Jan. 13, 2004—
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CDN) today announced
that eInfochips has adopted the Cadence(R) Incisive(TM) verification
platform to meet its advanced design and verification requirements. As
a leading developer of reusable verification components and
intellectual property (IP), eInfochips required a solution for
system-level and register transfer-level (RTL) verification. The
company will use the Cadence Incisive platform in its ASIC design
division. Through its work with eInfochips, Cadence continues to
connect globally with customers in the design chain.
"As a technology company dealing with SystemC designs, it is
paramount that we have a design environment where we can simulate
SystemC blocks with RTL. It is imperative that simulation performance
and the detailed code coverage capability are excellent," said Samir
Shroff, director of the ASIC design division at eInfochips. "After a
thorough examination of all of the products available on the market,
we determined that the Cadence Incisive platform would meet all of our
technical needs. The successful deployment of Incisive in our IP Cores
development effort led us to adopt Incisive in our ASIC design
services division, as well."
"The Incisive verification platform is the industry-leading
solution for mixed language simulation. The Incisive platform builds
on our long history of technical innovation success, offering the
ultimate simulation speed and efficiency, reducing testbench
development and debug time and increasing RTL performance," said
Himanshu Singh, executive director, India and SAARC, Cadence Design
Systems (I) Pvt. Ltd. "We are honored that a technology company like
eInfochips has chosen Cadence as a provider. We are committed, on a
global basis, to providing customers like eInfochips with the most
comprehensive platforms on the market to address their advanced
verification and SystemC design needs."
