eInfochips Offers VeriSuite, One of the Industry's Most Comprehensive Verification Services Package and IP Library

• VeriSuite significantly reduces time to verify and development costs.
• VeriSuite includes most industry standard interfaces; verification environments easily scaled to system level.

Santa Clara, CA - November 22, 2004 - eInfochips, Inc., a leading provider of ASIC design and verification services, IP cores and embedded systems solutions, today launched VeriSuite, the industry's most comprehensive verification package. Backed by 200+ man-years of verification knowledge, it incorporates verification services and verification IP library. VeriSuite is reusable across a multitude of designs and therefore significantly reduces development costs and time to verify a chip.

"The competitive marketplace makes it imperative that all the elements of design, especially verification, which consumes nearly 70% of chip design time and efforts, be reusable," says Tapan Joshi, vice president of marketing. "VeriSuite is reusable across multiple modules and projects making it easier for customers to amortize verification costs across projects. It'll help customers verify their designs by offering a minimal learning curve and a fast ramp-up to functional testing stage".
