Prosilog selects Avertec's HiTAS to qualify Memory Controller IPs

Paris, France- February 11, 2004 - Avertec today announced that Prosilog has chosen HiTAS, Avertec’s innovative timing platform, to characterize and qualify its DDR memory Controller family. Prosilog provides a family of multi-channels DDR-SDRAM memory controllers. These controllers are used to share between different subsystems the access to an external DDR memory.

“With this kind of design, there are a lot of asynchronous events and signal stability issues around the different interfaces. HiTAS from Avertec gives us the capability to quickly characterize our IP in a very accurate way over different technology processes” says Cyril Spasevski, project manager of Prosilog. “The timing analysis provided by HiTAS allows us to improve the performance of the arbitration scheme between the channels of the memory controller.”
