SANTA CRUZ, Calif. Users of Denali Software's memory intellectual property (IP) are mostly pleased with the company's products, according to postings from engineers in this week's (July 17) E-Mail Synopsys Users Group (ESNUG) mailing. Nearly all said they'd use it again, despite a handful of complaints and requests. The user survey was prompted by an earlier exchange of ESNUG postings between Synopsys and Denali. The first salvo was fired by Synopsys' Mick Posner. "Before your readers go off and waste their time and money on Denali IP, I suggest they have a look at what they already own as part of the DesignWare library," he wrote. "I'm pretty sure that the ASIC designers in ESNUG are quite competent to recognize a quality memory product from yet another 'DesignWare throw-in'," responded Kevin Silver, vice president of marketing at Denali. He asserted that over 35 semiconductor companies are using Denali's Databahn DDR (double date rate) controllers in their designs, and that 17 DDR controllers are now in silicon. ESNUG moderator John Cooley asked Silver to provide a customer list. Silver responded with 41 names. Cooley sent them all a survey, and 24 responded, prompting Cooley to state that "Kevin's claims were off by 37 to 47 percent." But Silver said he was pleased with the more than 50 percent response rate and the positive responses. "I'm very happy, especially with the number of customers who said they'd use us again," he said. Even Cooley acknowledged that most of the responses were "very impressive for Denali."
