Siemens expands integrated circuit verification portfolio with acquisition of Avery Design Systems
Siemens Digital Industries Software has signed an agreement to acquire Avery Design Systems, planning to add Avery’s technology to the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio as part of its suite of electronic design automation (EDA) integrated circuit (IC) verification products.
According to Joseph Sawicki, Executive Vice President, IC-EDA at Siemens, increasing SoC complexity, demand for new protocols and standards, and broadening use of verification IP cases present customers with new challenges relating to the verification of sophisticated, next-generation IC designs. “The acquisition of Avery adds Verification Protocol and Compliance Test Suite products as well as critical verification IP market understanding and know-how. This can extend Siemens’ products into areas such as High Performance Computing, Edge, Networking, and 3DICs,” he says.
According to Chilai Huang, President and CEO, Avery Design Systems, users need a complete protocol range for their applications and verification IP available as soon as standards are released, as well as compliance testing solutions that can help reduce risk and help enhance the correctness of their protocols.
“Avery products help system and SoC design teams to achieve dramatic functional verification productivity improvements,” he concludes.
