Synopsys' VCS Verilog Simulator Delivers Accurate Gate-level ASIC Simulation to Oki Semiconductor Customers.Business Editors and Technology Writers MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 25, 2000 Synopsys' VCS (1) (Verilog Computer Simulator) See Verilog. (2) (Version Control System) See version control. Verilog Simulator Delivers Performance, Accuracy and Capacity Oki Semiconductor and Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS SNPS Space Nuclear Power System ), reported the adoption of VCS(TM) as the sign-off simulator for Oki's entire range of 0.35 and 0.25 micron ASICs. Oki customers designing complex, multimillion-gate ASICs now can accurately simulate their designs at the gate-level using Synopsys' VCS version 5.1. "We are seeing much better performance, accuracy and capacity with VCS on our system-on-a-chip designs," said Jamshed Qamar, vice president, engineering department, R&D division of Oki Semiconductor. "Fast sign-off capability helps meet our customers' critical time to market requirements." "Synopsys is pleased with Oki's recommendation of VCS as a sign-off simulator," said Ghulam Nurie, vice president of marketing for Synopsys' verification technology group. "Sign-off means 'quality' and 'confidence', providing a clean verification flow for our mutual customers designing complex, multimillion-gate ASICs." Oki's 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. Products Oki Semiconductor has a major presence in the ASIC market, with extensive research and development partnerships with leading tool vendors. Oki's family of very deep submicron ASICs meets the industry's need for high-performance, low-cost system-level solutions, fueling the transition to system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs. Oki's ASICs are developed using an innovative platform-based approach that enables higher levels of productivity, reduced cycle time, and lower development risk through the sharing and re-use of intellectual property blocks. Oki's innovative mPlat ASIC platform is the world's first true ARM-based SoC, enabling Oki's customers to develop custom ICs in less time than with conventional ASICs.
