Fujitsu Ten Adopt Celoxica ESL Tools for Automotive Electronics Design; Market Leading C-Based Design and Synthesis Tools Coupled with Model Based Design Accelerates the Design and Performance of Advanced Automotive Electronics
YOKOHAMA, Japan—(BUSINESS WIRE)—July 18, 2005—
Celoxica Ltd., the leading provider of C-based
electronic system level (ESL) design and synthesis solutions, today
announced the adoption of its DK Design Suite of system design tools
by Fujitsu Ten Limited, a leading provider of advanced automotive
electronics. After comprehensive evaluation and testing, the DK Design
Suite will be deployed for internal Fujitsu Ten product development
and customer services business.
"Through extensive testing we have proved that we can integrate
C-based design and synthesis with model based design approaches. This
better enables us to turn software into silicon and it will have a
beneficial impact on our productivity and our customer
responsiveness," said Mr. Tonou, department general manager at Fujitsu
Ten. "With CRMS we can offer our customers real-time modeling and
simulation performance and enable engineers to identify issues in
engine design much earlier than was previously possible. This leads to
better product quality, improved reliability and lower costs."
Fujitsu Ten based their decision on the results of a large scale
project to develop an advanced motor control hardware-in-the loop
(HIL) simulator, CRMS. Algorithm design was shared between the DK
Design Suite and Simulink model based design environment from the
Mathworks. DK was also used for the algorithm acceleration,
parallelization and direct implementation of the CRMS system and
software models onto its simulation platform. The performance of the
new CRMS HIL simulator is 100x faster than processor-oriented
solutions with significantly lower power consumption.
The new simulation platform developed for CRMS mounts high density
Programmable SoCs to simulate the behavior of the motor in real time
using a newly developed motor model suitable for reciprocating engines
and hybrids. With its unique features, designers can use the CRMS
environment to develop motor control algorithms without a physical
motor actuator and a drive circuit having been manufactured. This
significantly reduces risks and costs and ease-of-use features
accelerate development and improve productivity.
"It's exciting to work with innovative companies like Fujitsu Ten
and I'm delighted that they have selected Celoxica as a key partner
for their future product development and services business. Their
approach to designing next generation electronics exemplifies what ESL
is all about," said Phil Bishop, president and CEO of Celoxica. "By
bringing together C-based design and synthesis with model based
design, Fujitsu Ten has successfully proved and put in to place the
essential components for complex electronics design."
