Mentor Graphics Acquires LogicVision; Unites BIST, ATPG and Test Pattern Compression Technologies
19 8월 2009 - 6:04AM
Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) and LogicVision, Inc.
(NASDAQ:LGVN) today announced that LogicVision stockholders have
voted to approve, and the parties have closed, the
previously-announced merger. Former LogicVision stockholders will
receive 0.2006 share of Mentor Graphics common stock in exchange
for each share of LogicVision common stock.
LogicVision is a leading provider of Built-in-Self-Test (BIST)
technologies for testing today’s System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. The
combination of Mentor’s industry-leading Automated Test Pattern
Generation (ATPG) and embedded test pattern compression technology,
and LogicVision’s BIST products, enables Mentor to provide
customers with comprehensive and integrated solutions to address
the growing complexity of silicon test.
“Our customers are facing significant new test challenges as
they move to each new technology node,” said Walden C. Rhines,
chairman and CEO, Mentor Graphics. “We believe the combination of
the Mentor and LogicVision silicon test solutions will enable them
to address all aspects of their full-chip test requirements with a
unified test platform. Combining our industry-leading ATPG and
embedded compression with the LogicVision memory and logic BIST
technologies enables our customers to maintain high product quality
and test standards, while reducing manufacturing costs and
improving profitability.”
“The partnership we started over two years ago that integrated
the Mentor TestKompress® ATPG
and compression tool with the LogicVision ScanBurst™ at-speed scan
technology paved the way for a successful merger of the
organizations,” said James Healy, former president and CEO of
LogicVision. “We now intend to build on that cooperation to address
the critical challenges of silicon test, such as cost-effective
nanometer SoC testing, extreme pattern compression, advanced
at-speed testing, embedded memory test and repair, high-speed I/O
testing, and leveraging test data for rapid yield analysis.”
The combined silicon test solutions from Mentor Graphics and
LogicVision provide customers with the best-in-class technologies
to address the test challenges of the digital logic and memory
portions of their designs, as well as the increasingly common
high-speed SerDes analog and DDR-based interfaces. LogicVision’s
unique test bring-up and silicon characterization tools — combined
with Mentor’s leading failure diagnosis capabilities — will also
help customers accelerate yield ramps, reducing time-to-volume.
LogicVision resources will be fully integrated into the Silicon
Test Solutions group within the Mentor Design-to-Silicon division
led by vice president and general manager, Joseph Sawicki. The
division also includes the Olympus-SoC™ place-and-route, and the
Calibre® physical verification, Design for Manufacturing and
Resolution Enhancement Technology product groups.
