Global Unichip Selects Denali for DDR Memory System Deployment

Databahn DDR Controller IP and PHY Solutions Speeds Production of DDR1, DDR2 and Mobile DDR Memory Systems

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Feb. 20, 2007 -- Denali Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of electronic design automation (EDA) software and intellectual property (IP), today announced that Global Unichip Corp. (Taiwan:3443) (GUC), a leading system-on-a-chip (SoC) design foundry, used its Databahn(TM) mobile DDR memory controller IP and PHY solution for use in a wide range of end product designs. Denali's Databahn solutions help GUC's developers quickly configure high-speed DDR2 and mobile DDR memory systems that meet or exceed customer design requirements in terms of bandwidth, latency and power reduction.

"In our first experience with Databahn IP, we were able to meet SoC design requirements in a very short turnaround time," said Jim Lai, president and COO of GUC. "GUC works constantly with world leading IDM, system and fabless design houses. It is essential that GUC rapidly addresses the wide range of customer design requirements and applications. We look forward to serving our customers with this solid roadmap of DDR controller and PHY solutions extending beyond 400MHz."

The Databahn product provides a comprehensive infrastructure for configuring, analyzing, and generating the optimal memory controller for a given customer application. Denali's Databahn DDR memory controllers offer a powerful, multi-port solution with configurable features and functionality to satisfy system performance requirements in terms of bandwidth, latency, and power reduction.

"Today's SoCs require specialized DDR memory systems that must address power, performance, and time-to-market," said Brian Gardner, vice president of IP products for Denali. "The Databahn DDR controller and PHY is a market-proven solution that offers a range of programmability and configurability to address application specific performance. We are pleased to work with GUC and participate in making their customers successful."
