New DesignWare AMBA Connect Automates IP Selection, Configuration, Assembly,
Simulation and Synthesis
DESIGN AUTOMATION CONFERENCE, SAN DIEGO, June 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), the world leader in semiconductor design
software, today announced DesignWare(R) AMBA(TM) Connect, a new feature in its
DesignWare Library that dramatically reduces design time, effort and risk for
AMBA bus-based designs. This feature uses Synopsys' coreAssembler tool to
automate AMBA design knowledge and to replace manual, time-consuming and
error-prone tasks of subsystem IP assembly, implementation and verification.
More than 25,000 DesignWare Library users now have access to coreAssembler
technology and this packaged AMBA knowledge for no additional charge.
DesignWare AMBA Connect automates IP selection, configuration, assembly,
simulation and synthesis for AMBA bus-based designs. Based on a designer's
chosen configuration, DesignWare AMBA Connect generates an appropriately
configured memory map, RTL modules, fully wired top-level netlist and,
testbench infrastructure with stimulus to validate the interconnections using
and DesignWare AMBA Verification IP. DesignWare AMBA Connect supports both the
full AMBA 2.0 functionality as well as AHB-Lite and automatically generates
single or multi-layer AMBA subsystems, including the necessary bus and bridge
structures.
"DesignWare AMBA Connect is the only comprehensive solution to offer
knowledge-based assembly of implementation and verification IP for AMBA-based
subsystems," said Guri Stark, vice president of Marketing, Synopsys Solutions
Group. "We continue to enhance our extensive DesignWare Library IP portfolio,
and the addition of coreAssembler technology, can enable designers to create
AMBA bus-based designs in hours rather than weeks."
Pricing and Availability
DesignWare AMBA Connect is included in the DesignWare Library and will be
available as part of the Synopsys 2004.06 release in June. DesignWare Library
licensees will have access to AMBA Connect for no additional cost. DesignWare
Library is available on a subscription or perpetual license basis. Synopsys'
coreAssembler tool is included in DesignWare Library at no extra charge to
assemble DesignWare IP. It is available for a separate charge for
non-DesignWare IP.
