Certess Announces Toshiba's Deployment of Its Functional Qualification Solution.Toshiba Tapes Out New Chip Integrating IP That Has Been Functionally Qualified CAMPBELL, Calif. -- Certess, Inc. the provider of functional qualification tools for systems on a chip (SoCs) and intellectual property (IP) blocks, today announced that Toshiba Corporation (company) Toshiba Corporation - A Japanese technology manufacturer with 364 subsidiaries worldwide. Toshiba makes and sells electronics for home, office, industry and health care including information and communication systems, electronic components, heavy electrical apparatus, , Japan's leading semiconductor manufacturer, adopted Certitude cer·ti·tude n. 1. The state of being certain; complete assurance; confidence. 2. Sureness of occurrence or result; inevitability. 3. , the functional qualification tool, in their recent system-on-a-chip (SoC) for digital TV. Toshiba chose the Certitude product from Certess to provide an objective measure of quality in the SoC verification environment. Certitude certifies that if a semiconductor chip design had a bug, it would be found. "Functional qualification is an important missing piece of the verification puzzle “Puzzle solving” redirects here. For the concept in Thomas Kuhn's philosophy of science, see normal science. A puzzle is a problem or enigma that challenges ingenuity. . This technology is complementary with today's RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; verification methodologies and, in the future, the same principles could be applied to higher abstraction levels See level of abstraction. . Verification consumes too many resources today. Effectively measuring verification quality allows Toshiba to accelerate the continuous improvement of design productivity," said Takashi Yoshimori, Technology Executive at Semiconductor Company, Toshiba Corporation. "It is very rewarding for Certess to be working with Toshiba. Adoption by industry leaders like Toshiba demonstrates that functional qualification is solving a fundamental issue in the verification market," said Michel Courtoy, 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. of Certess. Certess will demonstrate Certitude and its functional qualification capabilities at the Design Automation Conference (DAC See D/A converter and discretionary access control. DAC - Digital to Analog Converter ) in Anaheim USA, June 9-13, in Booth #324. For more information, see www.dac.com.
