Cadence Announces Sign-Off Status for Its NC-Verilog Simulator At Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 12, 2001 Industry-Leading Performance Supports Verilog HDL (Hardware Description Language) A language used to describe the functions of an electronic circuit for documentation, simulation or logic synthesis (or all three). Although many proprietary HDLs have been developed, Verilog and VHDL are the major standards.

(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CDN (Content Delivery Network) A system of distributed content on a large intranet or the public Internet in which copies of content are replicated and cached throughout the network. ), the world's leading supplier of electronic design products and services, today announced that Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has certified the Cadence(R) NC-Verilog logic simulation technology as sign-off quality for its ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. technologies. As a result, NC-Verilog now provides Mitsubishi designers with an effective solution to meet Verilog HDL needs for System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. Mitsubishi and Cadence developed next-generation accurate timing simulation technology -- called Enhanced Timing Output -- for NC-Verilog(R) so that logic simulation timing accuracy can be applied to the next deep submicron process. "NC-Verilog is the fastest, most accurate, and most integrated Verilog HDL simulator on the market," said Teruaki Harada, Project Manager, EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. Application Project Group, System LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. Division, Semiconductor Group at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. "This makes it ideal for accurately verifying large designs in the shortest amount of time." "Mitsubishi's endorsement of NC-Verilog is a real win for our mutual customers," said Rahul Razdan, corporate vice president and general manager of the Systems and Functional Verification group at Cadence. "This support gives our common customers the ability to use the industry's leading Verilog HDL simulator for all aspects of the design simulation process when employing Mitsubishi's advanced technologies. Mitsubishi's backing validates that NC-Verilog is the ideal choice for customers using leading-edge technology."
