Denali Software Celebrates One Hundredth Chip With DDR Controller IP Product

Databahn Achievement Signifies Industry Milestone in Deployment of DDR Memory Systems

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Sept. 24, 2007 -- Denali Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of electronic design automation (EDA) software and intellectual property (IP), today announced that its Databahn(TM) DDR memory controller IP has been successfully deployed in 100 chips. The customer of the 100th successful chip was Coherent Logix, Inc., who used Denali's Databahn DDR memory controller IP to meet application-specific performance requirements for their design. The Databahn IP ultimately enabled Coherent Logix engineers to accelerate their time to market and minimize design risk for their product.

"We were pleased with the performance and overall ease of integration of Denali's Databahn memory controllers into our chip design," said Michael Solka, vice president of engineering at Coherent Logix. "We used Databahn controllers in our design to support our required DDR1 and DDR2 memory interfaces. During the RTL coding and integration phase, we found that Denali's IP was easy-to-use and to integrate which facilitated our fast design cycle. Today's design specifications necessitate high quality IP and we are pleased with Denali's expertise in their ability to meet these requirements."

DDR DRAM is a key component in many memory subsystems found in a variety of computing, networking and communications manufactured today. With DDR DRAMs achieving speed grades up to 1600 Mbps, high-performance DDR interfaces are a critical variable in overall system performance. To better address these challenges, designers need a high-quality, proven solution consisting of more than the digital DDR memory controllers.

"Today's high-performance SoCs require specialized DDR memory systems that must address several design criteria plus an aggressive time-to-market schedule," said Brian Gardner, vice president of IP products for Denali. "Our Databahn DDR controller has reached a unique silicon-proven benchmark in the industry allowing our customers to make an easier choice to address their application specific performance requirements. We are very content with Coherent Logix first-pass silicon-success with their complex, high-performance SoC."
