Soft Mixed Signal Corporation Names Denali Software PCI Express Interface Verification Vendor
PALO ALTO, Calif., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Soft Mixed Signal Corporation today said that it has standardized its interface verification process with software from Denali Software Inc., the leading provider of electronic design automation (EDA) tools and intellectual property (IP) for chip interface design and verification. It is using Denali's PureSpec(TM) PCI Express verification IP to verify its PCI Express PHY Interface for its PCI Express (PIPE) compliant PHY IP. In partnership with Denali Software, it will also distribute and market an integrated PIPE PHY IP with PureSpec.
The combination of Soft Mixed Signal PHY IP and Denali's PureSpec verification IP produces a verification environment that ensures interoperability and PCI Express compliance. Designers can find potential bugs early in the development cycle before system on chip (SoC) designs are implemented in silicon, saving development time and getting higher quality products to market faster.
"Delivering high-quality products for our customers' next-generation chips is of critical importance to us," notes Muzaffer Kal, chief technology officer (CTO) of Soft Mixed Signal Corporation. "Denali's PureSpec has allowed us to deliver a fully compliant, verified and highly reliable PHY IP. We are impressed with the sophisticated system environment generated by PureSpec. It covers the complete PCI Express topology and tests boundary conditions and various operating modes required for complete interoperability verification."
Adds David Lin, Denali's vice president of product marketing: "We are pleased to be working together with the talented team at Soft Mixed Signal with its new technology for PCI Express designs. Companies like Soft Mixed Signal Corporation need to be confident that their cores will work as intended within customer designs. This is the assurance that our PureSpec product offers."
