| Source: eSilicon
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - December 16, 2009) - eSilicon Corporation, a pioneering
semiconductor value chain producer (VCP), today announced it has signed a
multi-year agreement with Synopsys that includes access to the Galaxy™
Implementation Platform, the Discovery™ Verification Platform,
DesignWare® IP and services. By engaging with Synopsys for multiple
areas of the business, eSilicon benefits from having a single-vendor
solution with access to Synopsys technical experts, ultimately reducing
risk and speeding time to market for its end customers.
eSilicon also joins the Synopsys IP OEM Partner Program, enabling them to
have access to a broad portfolio of high-quality, silicon-proven DesignWare
IP such as PCI Express®, USB, DDR, HDMI and SATA. In addition, eSilicon
gains access to Synopsys' next generation of connectivity IP as it becomes
available.
Being a member of Synopsys' IP OEM Partner Program enables eSilicon to
focus engineering talent on their core differentiation and not on
project-based IP procurement. The Synopsys IP OEM Partner Program extends
beyond the traditional customer-supplier relationship by providing the
necessary resources and infrastructure to help the members deliver
first-rate support to their end customers and easily create successful
designs. Specialized
on-site, in-depth product and integration training led by Synopsys
engineers enhances partner expertise and the end-user experience.
Accessing the technology in any given EDA tool, IP, wafer or package is
well-suited for a VCP. A company making one or two chips a year cannot
stretch the limits compared to a VCP nor leverage the special features in
any given tool or raw material for both performance and economics. VCPs
solve these and many problems.
"Every company that joins our value chain represents an extension of our
commitment to technology excellence, quality and value," said Patrick
Soheili, eSilicon vice president of marketing and business development.
"Through this multi-year agreement, Synopsys brings a high-quality and
silicon-proven IP portfolio and EDA tools. We are honored to be part of
their IP OEM Partner Program. Together we help fabless semiconductor
companies (FSCs) as well as system OEMs end-customers create highly
differentiated products in record time."
"Collaborating with eSilicon, a Value Chain Producer, enables customers to
benefit from high-quality SoC designs incorporating Synopsys' tools and
DesignWare IP solutions that have been proven in a wide range of products
and across multiple process nodes," said John Chilton, senior
vice-president and general manager for the Marketing and Business
Development group at Synopsys. "By leveraging leading infrastructure,
products, services and well-established supply chain, eSilicon's approach
to the development of complex SoCs helps end customers get products to the
market faster and with significantly less risk."
