Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT) today announced that
Yogitech, a company with proven experience in System-on-Chip (SoC),
mixed-signal design and verification, and fault-tolerant integrated
circuits, has adopted the Platform Express� product to provide
IP-XACT� descriptions for its fRMEM IP products. The IP-XACT IP
databook format standardized by The SPIRIT Consortium offers a
universal method to describe IP, which enables that IP to be
automatically integrated into designs using a range of IP-XACT
enabled tools. At the request of a major customer, Yogitech decided
to adopt the IP-XACT specification for its fRMEM products, a family
of fault supervisors for memory sub-systems fulfilling the risk
level SIL3 in accordance with IEC 61508 as certified by T�V S�D.
Yogitech�s customer was already creating its designs using an
IP-XACT design flow. Through IP-XACT, the Yogitech IP becomes
instantly usable in their customer�s design flow. Yogitech selected
Mentor Graphics� Platform Express product because it is the most
mature IP-XACT design environment available. Mentor Graphics
invented the technology behind IP-XACT and is a founding member of
The SPIRIT Consortium, the governing body of the IP-XACT
specification. Platform Express generates IP-XACT descriptions
directly from existing hardware design language (HDL) IP blocks and
enables easy integration of the IP block into the final design.
�After a competitive evaluation of similar products that generate
IP-XACT descriptions, it was clear that Mentor Graphics possessed
leadership and expertise uncommon among other vendors,� said
Stefano Lorenzini, design engineering manager, Yogitech. �After the
successful implementation of Platform Express on our fRMEM IP, we
have decided to use the product to create IP-XACT descriptions for
all of our SIL3 compliant IP blocks for automotive safety-critical
systems as we believe that many other customers will follow and
request IP supporting the SPIRIT specification,� said Silvano
Motto, President and CEO of Yogitech. Platform Express can shave
months off product development cycles through high levels of design
creation and verification automation of re-usable IP, and allows
designers to focus on product differentiating design tasks. The
product documents all aspects of IP using the IP-XACT XML databook
format provided through The SPIRIT Consortium. The IP-XACT
specification uses XML to create a machine-interpretable IP
databook; it includes design information that software tools then
use to automatically configure and integrate an IP block into a
design. �Mentor Graphics� Platform Express product was the core
technology behind what later became The SPIRIT Consortium�s IP-XACT
specification. Even now that support for the IP-XACT specification
has grown to include dozens of companies and scores of tools, the
Platform Express product family is still the premier toolset for IP
vendors and system designers who want to simplify IP reuse,� said
Serge Leef, general manager, System-Level Engineering Division,
Mentor Graphics. �By adopting Platform Express to generate IP-XACT
descriptions, Yogitech is signaling its commitment to helping its
customers eliminate IP integration and verification issues using
industry standard IP data formats.� About Mentor Graphics Mentor
