ArchPro Joins Virage Logic's VIP Program
ArchPro Design Automation announced that it has joined Virage Logic's VIP partnership program. This program enables both companies to share their technology in an effort to find better solutions for multi-voltage challenges faced by the design community.
Using multiple voltages is becoming a common design practice to reduce dynamic power, active leakage and standby leakage. As techniques like power gating, low-Vdd standby, dynamic voltage frequency scaling and back bias become common, designers are increasingly faced with challenges such as IP modeling and verification. The partnership between ArchPro, a pioneer in multi-voltage verification and Virage Logic, a leader in low power IP design, can help designers address these challenges.
"We are pleased to welcome ArchPro into our VIP program," said Mary Ann White, Director of Business Development, Virage Logic. "As a leading supplier of low power semiconductor IP for nearly a decade, working closely with an EDA partner like ArchPro helps deliver integrated solutions for our mutual low power customers."
"We are glad to join the Virage Logic's VIP program," said Anand Iyer, Senior Director of Marketing, ArchPro Design Automation. "ArchPro has proven itself in multi-voltage verification. Our support of Virage Logic's world-class low power IP opens new solutions for the customer in terms of power reduction."
