Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. has selected the Questa® functional
verification platform for all of its functional verification needs.
During testing on a number of designs across multiple technologies,
the Questa platform demonstrated faster performance, higher
reliability and better support of industry standards than other
functional verification solutions.
Other deciding factors were integration of the Questa Power
Aware capability as well as seamless integration of the Questa
digital simulation engine inside the Questa ADMS mixed-signal
simulation environment. Cypress Semiconductor had previously
standardized on the Questa ADMS solution for mixed-signal
simulation as well as the Questa Power Aware technology for
UPF-based, low-power design verification.
"As a world class provider of high performance, low-power,
mixed-signal, programmable solutions that are integrated into the
end applications of thousands of worldwide customers, we must
extensively verify our designs against a wide variety of potential
scenarios in ever reducing cycle times," said Andrew Wright,
Cypress's VP of Design. "We have chosen to standardize on Mentor's
Questa platform because of its best-in-class performance and
capabilities as well as the world-class support we have
received."
The Questa functional verification platform and the Open
Verification Methodology (OVM) promote efficient functional
verification from Electronic System Level (ESL) to gate-level
descriptions. As the design moves from high-levels of abstraction
to gate-level implementation, the built-in, multi-lingual features
of the Questa platform give users a smooth and seamless transition
between abstraction levels, resulting in significantly reduced
errors and increased productivity.
"Working with Mentor's Questa team and the Mentor consulting
organization, we are deploying an OVM-based verification
methodology to enable Cypress to effectively verify and deliver
robust solutions," said Dragomir Nikolic, CAD Director at Cypress.
"The first complete deployment of the Questa and OVM methodology
will take place in a next-generation, PSoC®-based, touchscreen
device scheduled for release this year. We felt that Questa's
capabilities, as well as Mentor's excellent support, were the best
choice for Cypress going forward."
"The increasing complexity of functional verification means
customers have to adopt new techniques," said John Lenyo, General
Manager, Mentor Graphics. "We've built both the tools and an
organization that can help customers accelerate adoption. Working
side by side with Cypress, we identified opportunities for improved
productivity and partnered to quickly ramp up deployment."
Questa Functional Verification Platform
The Questa functional verification platform combines high
performance and high capacity with the most comprehensive
verification capabilities in the industry. Assertion-based
Verification (ABV), intelligent testbench automation, Multi-view
Verification Components (MVCs), and Coverage-driven Verification
(CDV) are supported natively by the Questa platform's
high-performance assertion engine; a modern, high-performance
constraint solver; and extensive functional coverage features,
including verification management leveraging the Unified Coverage
Database (UCDB). Verification of low-power design intent can be
proven in an RTL environment with power-aware functional
verification. This full set of advanced verification functionality,
enhanced by a flexible Open Verification Methodology (OVM),
delivers unrivaled language and feature support in any design and
verification flow.
