Circuit Semantics and Legend Design Technology Announce OEM Agreement.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 20, 2004 Circuit Semantics Integrates Legend's MSIM MSIM Master of Science in Information Management MSIM Microsoft Instant Messenger MSIM Master of Science in International Management MSIM Member of the Singapore Institute of Management MSIM Medical Systems Infrastructure Modernization MSIM Multi Switch Interconnect Module Circuit Simulator with Its Circuit Characterization Software; Combination Improves Timing And Characterization of Semiconductor IP Used in 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. , DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive Microprocessor and High-Speed Communications Designs 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 ), the leading provider of modeling and characterization software 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 and Legend Design Technology, Inc., a leading supplier of 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. software for circuit simulation and memory IP (Intellectual Property) characterization, today announced that the companies have signed an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and agreement. Under the terms of the agreement CSI has seamlessly integrated Legend's MSIM(R) circuit simulator with its DynaCell(TM) and DynaCore(TM) circuit characterization software products. With MSIM, CSI can now provide customers with a complete circuit characterization flow that includes simulation and RC reduction, as well as circuit characterization and timing sign-off. "We chose the MSIM simulator because of its accuracy, convergence and speed," said Ewald Detjens, Circuit Semantics' 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. . "As a result of the synergy between our companies and our customers' requests, we worked quickly to successfully integrate Legend's MSIM circuit simulator with our characterization products." "We welcome CSI's decision to OEM our high-accuracy MSIM circuit simulator," added Dr. You-Pang Wei, Legend's CEO. "We are optimistic that our partnership will add value to our mutual customers design flows." Price and Availability DynaCore and DynaCell integrated with MSIM are available now from Circuit Semantics. For pricing information, contact Circuit Semantics telephone 650-564-9100. About MSIM The MSIM circuit simulator includes built-in RC reduction, is highly accurate -- within 1% when compared to the current market leading SPICE simulators -- and is at least 2X faster. It is also optimized for memory and standard cell characterization. About DynaCell and DynaCore Circuit Semantics offers DynaCell for characterization of cell libraries, DynaCore for timing sign-off. Models produced by the Circuit Semantics tools are used in synthesis, timing-driven place-and-route, static-timing analysis, noise analysis, power analysis and functional verification Functional verification, in electronic design automation, is the task of verifying that the logic design conforms to specification. In everyday terms, functional verification attempts to answer the question "Does this proposed design do what is intended?" This is a complex task, . Circuit Semantics' tools target high performance ASICs, DSP, microprocessor and high-speed communications ICs.
