Verific Design Automation Adds DAFCA to Growing Customer List; Verific HDL Component Software to Serve as Front End to DAFCA's Product Family.ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Electronic Design Automation (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. ) Supplier Verific Design Automation today said it has added EDA newcomer DAFCA Inc. of Framingham, Mass., to its customer list. DAFCA -- for design automation of flexible chip architectures -- is incorporating Verific's Hardware Description Language (language) Hardware Description Language - (HDL) A kind of language used for the conceptual design of integrated circuits. Examples are VHDL and Verilog. (HDL (Hardware Description Language) A language used to describe the functions of an electronic circuit for documentation, simulation or logic synthesis (or all three). Although many proprietary HDLs have been developed, Verilog and VHDL are the major standards. ) Component Software as the Verilog and 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. front end for its interconnect infrastructure solution that enables rapid system on chip (SoC) 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. . "Verific technology is enabling us to develop our product with full multi-language support and Verific proven Verilog and VHDL language compatibility," remarks Dave Miller The name Dave Miller could refer to:
The HDL Component Software Package "We applaud DAFCA for recognizing that Verific has the ability to deliver proven HDL component software, freeing its software team to focus on its core competency A core competency is something that a firm can do well and that meets the following three conditions specified by Hamel and Prahalad (1990):
Verific offers a number of component software packages, all written in platform-independent C++ that compiles on Solaris, HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations. (operating system) HP-UX - The version of Unix running on Hewlett-Packard workstations. , Linux and Windows platforms. Products include VHDL and Verilog parsers, analyzers, and elaborators, as well as a register transfer level (RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; ) database. All products are licensed as source code and come with online support and maintenance. For more details, contact Rick Carlson, Verific's vice president of sales.
