Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT) announced today that
international automotive leader Magneti Marelli Powertrain S.p.A.
has integrated Mentor Graphics(R) tools, including the newly
launched SystemVision(TM) mixed-signal modeling and simulation
environment, into its application-specific integrated circuit
(ASIC) development flow to achieve a 30 percent reduction in design
and simulation time. "Magneti Marelli's Powertrain Division reduced
development time for its engine control custom design flow by 30
percent using SystemVision and ModelSim, and achieved a full
running component in the first release," said Edoardo Martelli,
methodology manager of R&D Hardware Development at Magneti
Marelli. Magneti Marelli is using the multi-model, multi-domain
software, SystemVision, for mechatronic system simulation,
including safety function simulation, in order to design and
simulate the core of a new digital ASIC. SystemVision provides a
virtual lab, which supports industry-standard languages VHDL-AMS,
SPICE and C, for creating and analyzing analog, digital, and
mixed-signal systems. Magneti Marelli is also using Mentor Graphics
products HDL Designer(TM) for design entry and ModelSim(R) for
digital simulation. These tools facilitate ASIC development across
distributed design teams and enable practical design reuse through
rapid understanding and easy deployment of intellectual property
(IP). Magneti Marelli imports the VHDL files created by HDL
Designer into SystemVision. The Mentor Graphics solution will be
deployed in the Magneti Marelli Powertrain research and development
site in Venaria Reale near Torino (northern Italy). This site
designs and develops integrated circuits (ICs) for specific
automotive applications; it also designs electronic control units
(ECUs) and semi-automatic transmission controls. The most important
advantages with SystemVision are: -- Drag and drop feature for
importing VHDL code from HDL Designer -- Extensive use of internal
library of VHDL-AMS and Spice models -- Co-simulation feature
between SystemVision and ModelSim -- Simulation of the complete
system before the prototype. -- Improved reliability and robustness
