SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 1996--Avant! Corporation (Nasdaq:AVNT), developer of VeriCheck, the industry-leading submicron design verification solution, announced that a microprocessor microprocessor, integrated circuit containing the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to interpret and execute instructions from a computer program.  developer and manufacturer has purchased close to $8 million in products and services from Avant!.

VeriCheck was selected for its role in satisfying the company's demanding performance requirements for physical design verification -- it outperformed the chip makers' internal verification tool. The company cited satisfaction with Avant!'s customer services as an additional reason for selecting Avant! as its vendor.

The Avant! tools will be incorporated into the chip maker's design process to save time in "what-if" design verification scenarios. In turn, this significant capability will increase product time to market. The benefits of using a proven product such as VeriCheck are tangible.
