Santa Clara, California - February 17, 2004 - Nassda Corp. (Nasdaq: NSDA) today announced it will integrate its HSIM hierarchical circuit simulator with Mentor's multi-language ADVance MS (ADMS) mixed-signal simulation platform for the enhanced verification of complex mixed-signal system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The two companies will cooperate in delivering the jointly developed solution, with Mentor distributing ADMS and Nassda distributing HSIM.
"By collaborating with Mentor, we believe we will better meet the needs of our shared customers who work with complex mixed-signal designs," stated Sang Wang, CEO of Nassda. "Through an ADMS integration, design teams will have access to Nassda's high-capacity circuit simulation capabilities within Mentor's market-leading multi-language simulation platform for their complex mixed-signal SoC designs."
"By working with Nassda, we intend to add its market-leading hierarchical fast-spice simulation to our comprehensive mixed-signal verification environment," stated Jue-Hsien Chern, Vice President and General Manager, Deep Submicron Division at Mentor Graphics. "This demonstrates Mentor's commitment to delivering scalable verification solutions for complex mixed-signal SoCs."
About HSIM HSIM provides detailed circuit-level analysis of timing and power behavior and signal integrity effects. It solves the critical issue of analyzing circuit behavior while taking into account the electrical and parasitic effects of nanometer-scale silicon. It is ideal for demanding analog, memory, mixed-signal and system-on-chip designs.
Availability Integration with Mentor ADMS is expected to be available in the second quarter of calendar 2004 as an option to HSIM.
