Denali Software and Mitsubishi Electronics Announce MVP Partnership and Availability of Models for Mitsubishi's 64- and 128-Mbit SDRAMs.Business/Technology Editors PALO ALTO Palo Alto, city, California Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif. & SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 19, 2000 Denali Software Denali Software, Inc. is an American software company, based in Palo Alto, California. The company produces electronic design automation (EDA) software and intellectual property (IP) design cores for memory and other standard interfaces. and the Electronic Device Group of Mitsubishi Electric Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (三菱電機株式会社 & Electronics USA, Inc., announced the immediate availability of Denali(TM) SOMA(TM) models for Mitsubishi's 64- and 128-Mbit synchronous DRAMs (SDRAMs). These models can be used to model, verify and simulate the operation of these Mitsubishi SDRAMs in memory subsystems. At the same time, Mitsubishi will join Denali's MVP (Multimedia Video Processor) A high-speed DSP chip from Texas Instruments, introduced in 1994. Officially introduced as the TMS320C80, it combines RISC technology with the functionality of four DSPs on one chip. program, which provides that Denali will develop SOMA files for all existing and forthcoming Mitsubishi memory products. By establishing a relationship with Denali in its MVP program, Mitsubishi ensures early availability of models for future DRAMs, as well as the ability for designers using Mitsubishi parts to instantly take advantage of the existing Denali modeling and verification infrastructure. By enlisting Denali's support in model and SOMA file development, Mitsubishi minimizes the need to offer separate VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) A hardware description language (HDL) used to design electronic systems at the component, board and system level. VHDL allows models to be developed at a very high level of abstraction. and Verilog models, and ensures that its models run on one of the industry's leading memory subsystem development and modeling software packages. Mitsubishi is a leading supplier of embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. DRAMs, single data rate (SDR See software defined radio. ) and double data rate (DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus.

"Our customers need to model today's advanced memory subsystem designs using high-end software tools early in the design process," said Cecil Conkle, assistant vice president of DRAM marketing at Mitsubishi Electric & Electronics USA, Inc. "This partnership with Denali Software will enable our customers to begin designing memory subsystems containing Mitsubishi memories more quickly than in the past. Denali Software is a leading provider of tools for the design and verification of fully-optimized memory subsystems." "We're encouraged by our new MVP relationship with a leading memory supplier such as Mitsubishi," said Sanjay Srivastava, president of Denali Software. "With our MVP program, we're able to improve our ability to help designers incorporate 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. the newest memories into their memory subsystems as soon as the first datasheets are available." Denali SOMA memory models for Mitsubishi's 64- and 128-Mbit SDRAMs are available via Denali's dedicated platform (http://www.eMemory.com) and via the Mitsubishi Electric Semiconductor Group website (http://www.mitsubishichips.com/soma). To run these SOMA models, users must first obtain a simulation license from Denali Software. About Mitsubishi Electric & Electronics USA, Inc. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation is one of the world's top-10 DRAM suppliers and aggressively develops advanced DRAMs, such as PC100, PC133, and DDR SDRAM See DDR. , RDRAM (Rambus DRAM) Pronounced "r-d-ram." A dynamic RAM chip technology from Rambus, Inc., Los Altos, CA (www.rambus.com). Rambus licensed its memory designs to semiconductor companies, which manufactured the chips. (R), and other emerging industry-standard DRAM types to support current and future customer requirements. Mitsubishi Electric is the first company to successfully integrate the process technologies of DRAM and processor logic with its highly acclaimed eRAM(TM) system integration technology, and has shipped embedded DRAM products in high volume for longer than any other supplier. eRAM is Mitsubishi Electric's brand name for its silicon process technology, products, and systems expertise that integrate memory and system-level core functions on the same 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 to enable unprecedented overall system performance.
