Concept Engineering Licenses Schematic Visualization Software to JEDAT, Inc.; JEDAT Incorporates Both NlviewQT and T-engine Visual Debugging Software into Alpha-SX.FREIBURG, Germany & TOKYO -- Concept Engineering and JEDAT, Inc., formerly the 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. Systems Division of Seiko Instruments Inc. (SII SII Servicio de Impuestos Internos (Chile) SII Seiko Instruments, Inc. SII Strong Interest Inventory SII Standards Institution of Israel SII Securities and Investment Institute (UK) ), today signed a worldwide 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 license agreement to incorporate Concept Engineering's NlviewQT Widget Pronounced "wih-jit," for decades, the term has been a popular word for a generic "thing" when there is no real name for it. It is often used to describe examples of made-up products along with other fictitious names; for example, "10 widgets, 5 frabbits and 2 dingits. and T-engine visual schematic and debugging software engines into JEDAT's Alpha-SX product line. The Nlview Widget product suite is the industry-standard schematic generation, viewing, and debugging software for electronic design automation (EDA) tool developers. The integration with Concept Engineering's T-engine allows the automatically generated transistor-level schematics to be "pushed" to the Alpha-SX schematic editor, where designers can modify and fine tune the circuit in their familiar Alpha-SX "cockpit." The combination of both NlviewQT and T-engine into Alpha-SX allows JEDAT customers to gain access to an easy-to-use graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to that intuitively displays components, connectivity, and critical paths, and lets designers quickly visualize and fix design problems, ultimately improving the design and productivity for Alpha-SX users. "By licensing Concept Engineering's technology into our product, we save on internal development cost and provide the most advanced visualization technology available on the market," said Kazuhiro Miura, Project Manager of R&D, JEDAT, Inc. "EDA companies have found it too expensive and time-consuming to develop their own schematic generation tools," said Gerhard Angst, president and 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 Concept Engineering. "Using our ready-made software components gives companies like JEDAT the ability to automatically generate easy-to-read and easy-to-understand schematics, resulting in faster development and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. cycles for their Alpha-SX users." About Nlview Widgets The Nlview Widget family provides a broad range of components for GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. development -- Qt, Java, Tcl/Tk, MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class) An application framework for writing Microsoft C/C++ and Visual C++ applications. See application framework. MFC - Microsoft Foundation Class , wxWidget, and Perl/TK -- for automatic schematic generation, viewing, and debugging at all design levels: transistor, gate, block, register-transfer, and system. Nlview Widgets relieve EDA tool designers of the tedium and productivity loss of having to develop their own schematic generation software by providing a set of robust and flexible software components for automated schematic generation and viewing. By adopting Nlview Widgets, developers can quickly realize GUIs for EDA products with shorter design cycles and lower development and maintenance costs. About T-engine T-engine recognizes common device-level circuit patterns, and can detect and analyze serial/parallel circuit paths. It also can perform current flow analysis (i.e., power-to-ground flow) and logic flow analysis, including both left-to-right flow and reverse-flow detection for feedback. In addition, T-engine uses new transistor-level place-and-route techniques developed by Concept Engineering. Integrating T-engine with EDA tools allows designers of SoCs to visualize such critical information as circuit structure and timing data at the transistor level. This allows them to easily and accurately tune designs for maximum performance. About Alpha-SX The Alpha-SX series developed by JEDAT is a new-generation EDA platform that draws on 20 years of experience and technology development. The Alpha-SX Series has been highly acclaimed thanks to its ability to greatly improve productivity through seamless interfacing with powerful automated tools developed either by JEDAT or other manufacturers, as well as its abundant functions, high speed, and ease of operation. About JEDAT JEDAT, Inc., formally the EDA Systems Division of SII (Seiko Instruments Inc.), focuses on the fields of full-custom design, DFM DFM Design for Manufacturing (newsletter) DFM Design for Manufacturability DFM Dubai Financial Market DFM Delphi Form (computer filename extension) DFM Distinguished Flying Medal DFM Diesel Fuel Marine , and mask verification, which have traditionally been their strengths, while they further hone their competitiveness. JEDAT, a leader in these EDA fields, provides optimum solutions to customers all over the world. About Concept Engineering Concept Engineering is a privately held company privately held company A firm whose shares are held within a relatively small circle of owners and are not traded publicly. based in Freiburg, founded in 1990 to develop and market innovative schematic generation and viewing technology for use with logic synthesis, verification, test automation, and physical design tools. The company's customers are primarily original equipment EDA tool manufacturers (OEMs), in-house CAD tool developers, and semiconductor companies. For more information, see http://www.concept.de |
