Atmel Extends and Expands Partnership With Mentor Graphics, OEM
Agreement Spans Synthesis, Simulation and Verification SAN JOSE,
Calif. and WILSONVILLE, Ore., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmel(R)
Corporation (NASDAQ:ATML) and Mentor Graphics Corporation
(NASDAQ:MENT), today announced a multi-year extension and expansion
of the existing OEM agreement for advanced synthesis, simulation,
and verification tools from Mentor Graphics. The new agreement
signifies the industry's most comprehensive OEM relationship
between a programmable logic device (PLD) vendor and electronic
design automation (EDA) solutions provider, and spans the full
spectrum of tools essential for both FPGA and CPLD design. Through
this OEM agreement, FPGA designers can now easily realize the power
of the Precision(R) RTL Synthesis tool from Mentor Graphics within
Atmel's FPSLIC(R) FPGA and the ProChip Designer(R) CPLD development
systems. Additionally, the partnership extends support of the
industry leading ModelSim(R) simulator from Mentor Graphics to all
of Atmel's CPLD devices. Users of the FPSLIC development system
will get continued support for both the ModelSim simulator and the
Seamless(R) hardware/software co-verification product from Mentor
Graphics. "Mentor Graphics is a leader in FPGA and PLD design
tools. We have partnered closely over the past five years, and
Atmel is pleased to extend our long standing relationship," said
Gladwyn D'Souza, product director, Programmable Devices, Atmel
Corporation. "Our customers need complete synthesis, simulation,
and verification solutions for both CPLD and FPGA development
flows. So it was an easy choice to select Mentor Graphics to help
complement and enhance Atmel's design tool suite for our new
devices. Working in close partnership, Mentor Graphics tools will
help our customers take advantage of the exceptional value and
performance of Atmel devices," he concluded. "This agreement
reaffirms Mentor Graphics continued technology and business
leadership in FPGA design tools, and is reflective of our
commitment to provide comprehensive solutions for a broad range of
programmable logic devices. By combining the strengths of our
Precision RTL Synthesis, ModelSim and Seamless tools with Atmel's
devices, we offer our mutual customers unprecedented performance
and functionality," said Simon Bloch, general manager, Design
Creation and Synthesis Division, Mentor Graphics. "We firmly
believe that the addition of these advanced synthesis, simulation,
and verification tools to their FPGA and CPLD design tools will
enable new customers to adopt Atmel's technology." Advanced Design
Capabilities and Improved Performance The Precision RTL Synthesis
tool is designed to enable professional design engineers to quickly
analyze, diagnose and resolve complex design issues with powerful
features such as an ASIC-strength static timing analysis tool and
intuitive design project management. This power ultimately creates
outstanding performance in customers' end applications. Mentor
Graphics is currently optimizing Precision RTL Synthesis support
for Atmel's CPLD devices as well as FPSLIC FPGAs. Extended Atmel
device support will be available in the next Precision RTL
Synthesis release later this year. Shipments of Atmel development
systems, including the new configurations with Mentor Graphics
tools, are expected early next year. About Atmel FPSLIC and CPLD
Devices Atmel's AT94K and AT94S family of Field Programmable System
Level Integrated Circuits (FPSLIC devices) combine all the basic
system building blocks (logic, memory and uC) in an SRAM-based
monolithic field programmable device. The FPSLIC programmable SLI
platform allows true system level designs to be implemented without
the need for expensive NRE (non-recurring engineering) charges or
costly software tools. FPSLIC for the first time puts system level
integration on every designer's desk. The FPSLIC Secure (AT94S)
combination of FPSLIC and the serial configuration memory in a
single package allows for ISP and remote updates of FPSLIC while
hiding programming code for the FPGA and AVR micro. Atmel's ATF15xx
CPLD family offers pin-compatible supersets of the popular 7000 and
3000 series devices ranging from 32 to 128 (soon to be 256)
macrocells with propagation delays from 7.5 to 15 ns for 5V
standard power versions and 15 ns for 3.3V versions. All products
are available in low voltage versions and Atmel's proprietary
low-power ("L") versions that use Input Transition Detection (ITD)
to power down the device automatically when nothing is switching.
All devices also support JTAG in-system programming (ISP). About
