Innovative Silicon Joins Cadence OpenChoice IP Program
Innovative Silicon (ISi), the developer of Z-RAM® ultra-dense memory intellectual property (IP), announced today that it has joined the Cadence Design Systems Inc. OpenChoice IP Program. The program is designed to ease the process of integrating IP, such as ISI’s Z-RAM, into SoC designs.
ISi’s Z-RAM provides SoC designers with speed, density and power advantages that aren’t available with other memory solutions,” said Michael Horne, group director of IP & EDA Alliances, at Cadence. “We truly see the advantage of integrating this IP solution into our common customers' designs, particularly as they head to 65-nanometer-and-below SOI implementations. Accordingly, we welcome ISi and its Z-RAM memory technology into our OpenChoice IP Program.”“ISi recognizes that links to leading EDA tools are just as important as delivering a world-class memory technology,” said Jeff Lewis, VP of Marketing at ISi. “We recognize Cadence as a leader in its market space, and we are delighted to be joining the Cadence OpenChoice IP Program at this time.”
