Mentor Graphics Provides Platform Express Solution for LSI Logic RapidChip Platform ASIC Partner Program
WILSONVILLE, Ore.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Jan. 18, 2006—
Mentor Graphics (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced that it
has joined the LSI RapidChip(R) Platform ASIC partner program with its
Platform Express(TM) solution. This provides the two companies' mutual
customers with the ability to shave off several months of aggressive
system-on-chip (SoC) development cycles and focus on product
differentiation.
The Mentor Graphics Platform Express product is a platform-based
design environment that allows designers to create SoC designs out of
complex intellectual property (IP) in minutes. It enables SoC
designers to rapidly create and verify their designs by automating
complex, tedious, and error-prone design creation, IP integration, and
verification steps.
The LSI RapidChip Partner Program reduces time-to-revenue, design
risk, and system costs by providing Platform ASIC designers with
third-party development tools including intellectual property, design
services, and design tools that combine quality and flexibility for
the consumer, communication, storage and other markets. LSI will be
able to use Platform Express in its latest generation of the LSI
RapidWorx(R) design system.
"We share a common mission with LSI to enable designer
productivity and speed time to market," said Serge Leef, general
manager, System Level Engineering Division, Mentor Graphics, Inc. "As
an LSI partner, we can deliver a complete platform-based design
environment to our Platform ASIC customers, enabling them to quickly
create complete system-on-chip devices efficiently and predictably."
"LSI continues to underscore its commitment to shorten development
cycles and reduce cost for our RapidChip technology customers," said
Kenneth M. Mikami, marketing director, Design Tools & Methodology,
LSI. "Mentor Graphics' Platform Express solution provides another path
for achieving that goal by meeting our standards for design integrity,
ease-of-use, reusability, supportability, and quality."
