Faraday Adopts Incentia for ASIC Synthesis & Timing Flow
Runtime Speed and Capacity of Incentia's Logic, Test and Low Power
Synthesis & Timing Software Crucial for High-Performance,
Complex Design Success
HSINCHU, Taiwan & SANTA CLARA, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 1, 2004—
Incentia Design Systems, Inc. announced today that Faraday
Technology Corporation (TAIEX: 3035), a leading fabless ASIC service
and silicon proven IP provider, has successfully integrated Incentia's
software into its ASIC synthesis and timing flow.
"Because our benchmark showed Incentia's logic synthesis and
timing analysis software successfully reduced chip area and greatly
shortened run time, we were confident about adopting Incentia's tools
into our ASIC flow," said Jim Wang, director of the Design Development
Division at Faraday. "Our real design examples showed that Incentia's
software achieved high performance and facilitated our customers'
projects."
"Faraday is a recognized leader in the ASIC service field,"
remarked Ihao Chen, President & CEO of Incentia. "Their adoption and
integration of Incentia's software is an example of how our tools are
well-suited for ASIC design."
Faraday joined Incentia's LibCraft(TM) Library partner program in
2001. By integrating Incentia's synthesis and timing tools, Faraday
delivers comprehensive ASIC libraries with robust performance.
Faraday's customers have gained a significant competitive advantage as
a result of the collaboration between Faraday and Incentia.
Incentia's Synthesis and Timing Software Products
Incentia offers three major products for synthesis and timing
analysis. TimeCraft(R) is a full-chip, gate-level static timing
analyzer, offering fast analysis speed for timing sign-off and
Engineering Change Orders (ECOs). DesignCraft(R) is a logic synthesis
tool with datapath, test and low power options. DesignCraft Pro(TM) is
a physical synthesis tool that solves timing closure issues and
shortens turnaround time. All products are based upon a unified timing
engine and database and address the ever growing design requirements
of speed, performance and capacity.
