AvantQuest Technologies Selected by DOLPHIN Integration as Exclusive Reseller in California and Arizona.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- AvantQuest and DOLPHIN Sign an Exclusive Reseller Agreement for SMASH Analog and Mixed Signal Simulator: Target Sales $1.6 Million over 2 Years AvantQuest Technologies, Inc., a provider of Analog-Mixed Signal electronics software solutions and design services, announced that on November 8, 2004, the company entered into an agreement with DOLPHIN Integration SA to become the exclusive reseller of SMASH in California and Arizona. SMASH is the industry's only electronic simulator versatile enough to simulate both analog and logic circuitry, in a single netlist of the original models readable in C, ABCD See CompTIA. , Verilog-HDL, SPICE, VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) A hardware description language (HDL) used to design electronic systems at the component, board and system level. VHDL allows models to be developed at a very high level of abstraction. , VHDL-AMS and soon Verilog-AMS. Exclusivity for realistic simulations Confident in the importance of this unique property for realistic designs, as partners, DOLPHIN and AvantQuest demonstrate the ability of two growing with a leading-edge technology to partner for providing productivity improvements to leading-edge customers, namely Logic and Analog circuit analog circuit, electronic circuit that operates with currents and voltages that vary continuously with time and have no abrupt transitions between levels. Generally speaking, analog circuits are contrasted with digital circuits, which function as though currents or designers as well as Mixed Signal SoC Integrators who are encountering increasingly challenging problems with multi-level verification at both the back-end and the front-end. On this basis, AvantQuest can provide the IC design community with advanced support and services for the design of analog and mixed signal circuitry, as well as for their integration into mixed signal SoCs. SMASH enables training in know-how for ease in realistic modeling of analog and mixed signal circuitry with calibration between electrical and high-level descriptions. The partners are first to address the behavioral modeling In behavioral system theory and in dynamic systems modeling, a behavioral model reproduces the required behavior of the original (analyzed) system such as there is a one-to-one correspondence between the behavior of the original system and the simulated system. of inter and intra-circuit disturbances of a mixed signal SoC or PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. . "AvantQuest's strong relationships with Mixed Signal design houses in California and Arizona pave the way for DOLPHIN to bring its solution to more than thirty key users and grow 30% in the southwestern US," stated CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Jean-Francois Pollet. Optimized services for hierarchical integrators and circuit-level designers On the one hand, SMASH is premier in VHDL-AMS, due to its regional exposure to the needs of the Automotive Industry The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. In 2006, more than 69 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide. , which implies top performance from complex logic to microelectromechanical structures. On the other hand, designers of analog and mixed signal circuitry shall find with SMASH, unique capabilities to simulate typically x400 faster than alternatives, all forms of noisy interferences up to jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle . "This alliance with DOLPHIN is a tremendous milestone for our company," stated Maged Attia, Founder and Director of Sales at AvantQuest. "DOLPHIN's best-in-class technologies will shape the way both Analog and Mixed Signal engineers do complex mixed signal designs and SoC Integrators beat PCB design in all performances. The addition of SMASH to our portfolio enables AvantQuest to provide more advanced solutions to our customers' AMS AMS - Andrew Message System design problems." About DOLPHIN Integration DOLPHIN Integration was founded as early as 1985 to offer Mixed Signal IC Design Services and has evolved into a Chipless Microelectronics Development Provider. DOLPHIN has established a solid reputation in the design of library cells, mixed analog/digital or pure logic IC's, and as a Fabless supplier of custom IC's. It launched SMASH as early as 1988, to ensure its mastery for simulating circuits realistically for one-pass designs and high fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. yield. It is now on a growth course with an innovative product strategy in dual markets: Virtual Components of Intellectual Property and the Missing Electronic Design Automation Links, under the acronym acronym: see abbreviation.
