Excellicon and BaySand Announced Partnership to Optimize Timing Constraints Deve lopment Excellicon and BaySand Announced Partnership

to Optimize Timing Constraints Deve lopment Enabling Faster Product Delivery with TeneX Product line Laguna Hills, CA, United States., February 18, 2013 -- Excellicon Inc., an innov ative provider of Timing Constraints Analysis and Debugging solutions for the au tomation of constraints authoring, completion, and validation, announced a partn ership program with BaySand Inc., a provider of Metal Configurable Standard Cell (MCSC) technology and products, to address the complexity of timing constraints development and management for the benefit of both companies' customers. This partnership was formed to address the issue of multiple iterations between design and implementation teams, in which the timing constraints (SDC) design an d validation are often culprit for delays in product delivery schedules. BaySand 's customers now have access to Excellicon tools that allow them to eliminate un necessary iterations while ensuring a correct-by-construction set of timing cons traints to accompany the design implementation. The users of Excellicon tools ca n start from scratch or leverage existing timing constraints files in order to t ake advantage of the MCSC products to achieve a shorter time-to-market. Customer s can seamlessly generate a comprehensive set of timing constraints files in par allel with the implementation efforts managed by BaySand. "As BaySand often performs RTL Signoff, Excellicon's tools enable us to cope wit h the challenge of obtaining complete and correct design timing constraints", sa id Jonathan Park, Executive VP and CTO of BaySand. "By deploying Excellicon's pr oducts in our design flow, we can provide to our customers a proper methodology for generating timing constraints or alternatively, qualify their existing desig n timing constraints. Minimizing timing-related iterations allows our customers to enjoy the benefits of fast turnaround time and reduced cost using our Metal C onfigurable Standard Cell technology and products. Our TeneX products line along with Excellicon's tools, enable us to offer an efficient design methodology for getting products to market quickly while avoiding exploding costs of SOC realiz ation."
