Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT), a leader in
standards-based semiconductor intellectual property (IP) and fully
integrated IP subsystems, today announced its new Serial ATA (SATA)
physical layer (PHY) IP core. The SATA PHY IP core, targeted for
the TSMC 130nm Low Voltage Oxide (LVOD) process, provides a
completely integrated solution for both SATA host and device
applications running at either 1.5Gbps or 3.0Gbps speeds. The SATA
PHY has one of the industry�s smallest footprints based on its
efficient analog circuitry design � up to five times smaller than
competitive solutions � making it ideal for today�s low-power
storage applications and consumer electronics. Mentor Graphics
successfully completed industry testing for the new SATA PHY
product at the 8th Annual SATA Plug Fest, April 30-May 4, 2007,
held in Milpitas, California. Rigorous co-validation and
interoperability testing of Mentor�s SATA subsystem offerings were
conducted with major companies, along with competitive SATA
products. Mentor�s SATA PHY/SATA Host subsystem was successfully
tested against 16 different device vendors and Mentor�s SATA device
subsystem was successfully tested against 18 different host
vendors. As a result of the SATA Plug Fest, Mentor�s PHY was
validated to work in first silicon and exceeded performance
specifications, running at the industry required 3.0Gbps. �The use
of verification IP is essential�to ensure�a high-quality IP
solution,� according to Shaw Yang, vice president of�business
development�at Avery Design Systems, Inc., a�leading verification
IP provider. �In preparation for the SATA Plug Fest, we
worked�closely with Mentor to test�their SATA IP solution for
robust compliance and interoperability." �Mentor continues
to�provide complete, pre-certified, standards-based digital and
mixed-signal�IP solutions for SATA and other key applications,�
stated Bill Martin, Mentor Graphics IP division general manager.
�Our SATA PHY will allow our customers to implement a SATA
interface in storage-based designs using less power and smaller
area compared to other offerings. As a result, our customers will
develop more efficient and innovative consumer products with
minimized risk, using our integrated SATA PHY, SATA Host, and
Device Controller.� Mentor Graphics is the only company to provide
fully integrated digital IP, mixed-signal IP (PHY) and embedded
software IP, delivering a total subsystem IP solution to minimize
risk and accelerate product development. Mentor�s new SATA PHY,
along with Mentor�s current SATA IP product portfolio, provides
complete and integrated hardware functionality. All Mentor IP
products are designed and tested for industry compliance under
stringent industry-standards conditions and in-house test labs. To
