VeriSilicon and Legend Design Enable Instance-based Memory Characterization for Compiler Users
SUNNYVALE, Calif. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., -- October 7, 2003 -- VeriSilicon, Inc., a leading provider of SoC Intellectual Property and Legend Design Technology, Inc., a leader in memory IP characterization and simulation software, today announced support for instance based characterization of Verisilicon embedded memory. Based upon layout-extracted circuit data with resistors and capacitors, Legend’s CharFlo-Memory! toolset has the capacity to accurately and efficiently generate on-chip memory instance models at any PVT (process, voltage and temperature) corner.
"For the times when an SoC design requires the most accurate simulation models possible, VeriSilicon memory compiler users can count on Legend’s instance based characterization tool, CharFlo-Memory!, to quickly produce models that are close to the reality of the silicon. VeriSilicon is dedicated to providing our clients with quality IP by partnering with Legend and the means to achieve first silicon success. Legend’s instance based characterization tools enable our users to incorporate Verisilicon memory IP in high-performance and low-power designs" said Wayne Dai, President and Chief Executive Officer of VeriSilicon, Inc.
In addition to standard cell libraries and I/O cell libraries, VeriSilicon offers memory compiler products including single- and dual-port SRAM compiler, single- and two-port register file compiler, and diffusion programmable ROM compiler. In particular, VeriSilicon provides memory compilers for Semiconductor Manufacturing International (Shanghai) Corporation (SMIC) 0.18 um and 0.15 um technologies and achieved first silicon success on several multi-million gate SoC designs, including 32 bit microprocessors, 16 bit DSPs, and high performance ASICs.
"Due to second order effects such as coupling and leakage power inherent to deep sub-micron designs, instance modeling of embedded memories is required for an accurate pre-tapeout system simulation" said You-Pang Wei, President and Chief Executive Officer of Legend Design Technology, Inc. "Users of Verisilicon memory compilers now have a reliable and cost-effective turnkey solution for maximizing their design’s performance and yield in silicon”.
About Legend Design Technology, Inc.
Legend Design Technology, Inc. is a leading provider of characterization and simulation software for semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) blocks in SoC designs. With an emphasis on productivity and value, Legend’s CharFlo-Memory! toolset which includes MSL, SpiceCut, MemChar and MSIM, revolutionize the time consuming and error prone processes associated with characterization. SpiceCut can automatically build critical-path circuits to reduce simulation time for characterization, especially from post-layout extracted circuits with resistors and capacitors. MemChar can automatically characterize the memories and generate the 'true' timing and power models. MSL can automate memory characterization with customized setup of '.Lib-in and .Lib out'. MSIM is a characterization-oriented circuit simulator with post-layout RC reduction capability. With high accuracy, high speed and licensing models, MSIM can provide excellent price-performance.
