Cadence Design Systems, Inc. the leader in global electronic-design innovation, announced Sunplus Technology, a leader in IC design industry for electrical consumer applications, has selected the Cadence® Incisive® Xtreme® Server acceleration and emulation solution. The valuable combination of verification performance and ease of adoption of the Xtreme technology provides Sunplus faster time-to-market with high-speed verification and acceleration for million-gate SoC designs.
Sunplus is a leading global supplier of consumer ICs for home entertainment and multimedia applications such as DTV and DVD player. Increasing design complexity and extremely tight schedules are always critical issues for companies like Sunplus. With Xtreme hardware/software co-verification capability, Sunplus enjoyed the flexibility of an integrated debug environment, which facilitated communication between Sunplus' hardware and software engineers.
"With Xtreme Server, our team was able to achieve significant productivity improvement over traditional simulation," said Ying-Chih Yang, director of engineering, Sunplus. "By adopting the Xtreme we were able to verify time-consuming and complex scenarios that were not practical with simulation alone, which allowed us to meet our expected schedule while ensuring our SoC (System on Chip) designs the best quality and performance requirements."
"We are pleased to see Xtreme verification solutions are parts of Sunplus' development of cutting-edge multimedia and consumer devices," said Lung Chu, Asia Pacific president at Cadence. "We are excited about our opportunity to expand our footprint in Taiwan to the consumer market. We will continue to work with Sunplus to deliver overall design productivity, quality and predictability."
Logic designers can realize up to 1000 times performance increase in simulation with a single environment for Cadence Incisive® simulators and Xtreme series systems. This environment is enabled by an expansion of an innovative and unique "hot swap" capability which now allows designers to easily move, within seconds, back and forth between a leading commercial simulation tool and the Incisive Xtreme® III accelerator/emulator.
