2002 A Solid Year for Get2Chip; 130 Design Completions, Including 50 Million Gate Design



SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 2003--Get2Chip(TM), Inc., an electronic design automation (EDA) supplier of system-on-chip (SoC) synthesis, announced today that 2002 was a record year for the company. Get2Chip saw record orders, design completions, and new customer adoptions of its RTL Compiler, G2C-RC(TM), and Architectural Compiler, G2C-AC(TM).

Customers and Design Completions

"2002 was a great year for us. That our software has been adopted by the leading producers of processor, graphics, and networking chips speaks volumes of the capabilities and quality of results produced by G2C-RC(TM) and G2C-AC(TM)," notes Bernd Braune, Chairman and CEO of Get2Chip. "Our software was used in over 130 design completions. The average complexity of those designs was 3 million gates with the largest designs being over 50 million gates of synthesized logic."

Power Flows

Customers made the switch to Get2Chip because of the company's team support and because of Get2Chip's timing driven synthesis technology, which reduces the risk in complex chip design projects. During 2002, Get2Chip established seven power flows with RTL-Compiler: G2C-RC(TM) with Magma's Blast Fusion; G2C-RC(TM) with Physical Compiler and Apollo; G2C-RC(TM) with Astro; G2C-RC(TM) with First Encounter, Physical Compiler, and Nanoroute; G2C-RC(TM) with Physical Compiler and Nanoroute; G2C-RC(TM) with Apollo and Sapphire; and G2C-RC(TM) with Silicon Ensemble/PKS.

The Future

"For 2003, we expect the number of design starts in SoC of greater than 10 million gates to grow rapidly; as such, we will continue to expand our position as the best in class synthesis," says Braune. "We will continue to focus on key accounts and on the massive chips of the 130 to 90 nanometer era."
