Circuit Semantics Joins Synopsys Milkyway Access Program.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2003 Circuit Semantics, Inc. (CSI CSI Crime Scene Investigator CSI CompuServe, Inc. CSI Commodity Systems, Inc. CSI Commodity Systems Inc. (Boca Raton, FL) CSI Crime Scene Investigation (CBS TV show) CSI Christian Schools International ), a leading provider of next-generation modeling and characterization solutions for high-performance integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC) design, today announced that it has signed up for Synopsys' Milkyway(TM) Access Program (MAP-in(SM)). MAP-in gives members such as Circuit Semantics free access to the Milkyway application programming interfaces (APIs) for integration development into the widely used Milkyway design database. "Circuit Semantics, Inc. supports interoperability initiatives such as Synopsys' MAP-in for the benefit of our customers," said Ewald Detjens, chief executive officer of Circuit Semantics. "MAP-in and access to Milkyway will benefit our joint customers through close integration of our solutions for IC design." "We welcome Circuit Semantics' participation in the MAP-in program," said Rich Goldman, vice-president of Strategic Market Development at Synopsys, Inc. "An objective of MAP-in is to give 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. developers open and immediate access to the Milkyway database and environment, allowing them to become more productive using an industry-proven design database with thousands of tape-outs." About Circuit Semantics, Inc. Circuit Semantics, Inc. provides timing and characterization solutions for high performance cells, cores, and blocks based on innovative and patented technology.
