Mentor Graphics Helps CamSemi Replace Design and Verification Flow to Improve Simulation Performance and Time to Market

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that it
assisted CamSemi in replacing their integrated circuit (IC) design
and verification flow with Mentor tools to improve simulation
performance and time to market. Cambridge-based CamSemi is a global
leader in the development and supply of power management ICs for
more energy-efficient, low-cost power supplies and lighting.
Working with Mentor Graphics, CamSemi was able to replace a design
and verification flow from a major supplier with the Mentor® Custom
IC design and verification platform while keeping their design
project on schedule.
The adoption of the Mentor tool flow came at a critical time for
CamSemi as they were approaching the final stages of a design and
verification project. Moving from a legacy design and verification
environment to the Mentor tool flow was accomplished by addressing
every aspect of the transition. The Mentor consulting organization
worked onsite with the CamSemi design team to ensure that vital
knowledge exchange and training was immediate and customized. The
Mentor technical team in the deep submicron division delivered
exceptional software products; the IC Station® tool suite, the
Questa® ADMS mixed-signal simulation platform, and the Eldo®
Classic Spice simulator that allowed CamSemi to switch out the old
tools without losing any functionality or compromising their design
data. Mentor achieved a 2X increase in simulation throughput for
CamSemi.
“Moving from a well entrenched design and verification
environment to something new is an enormous task even when you’re
not faced with an impending tapeout,” said John Greenwood, Analog
Design Team Manager, Cambridge Semiconductor. “Mentor put a great
deal of time into anticipating possible problems, and working to
dismiss them before they could manifest themselves. This attention
to detail was critical to the ultimate success of the replacement
process.”
“The term ‘partner’ is used all too often as a grandiloquent
substitute for supplier or customer,” said Nigel Heather, VP of
Engineering, Cambridge Semiconductor. “I feel that in this
circumstance it is completely appropriate. Not only did the Mentor
team work hard for us, they were incredibly nice, patient people
and great ambassadors for the company. So, my sincere thanks to the
Mentor team.”
“We are very proud of our Custom IC design technology and the
team that is so committed to customer success,” said Robert Hum, VP
and General Manager of the Deep Submicron Division of Mentor
Graphics. “We take the idea of partnering very seriously, to the
degree that our intent goes well beyond selling the technology and
training people to use it. The foundation of all our efforts is
fixed on helping customers optimize their design environments in
the context of meeting the customer’s business objectives.”
