SAN JOSE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — January 31, 2018 — Movellus introduced itself today as a provider of software and IP innovations that expand digital design and verification tools to automatically implement functionality that has traditionally required months-long custom analog design. Because Movellus IP products are 100 percent digital, they accelerate time-to-market, reduce risk of failure and enable portability to new process nodes.
Movellus also announced today its flagship products, the Movellus PLL, DLL, & LDO Generators, after three years of product development and successful working silicon with multiple customers.
“Semiconductor companies are facing aggressive schedules and increasing design complexity in advanced process nodes,” said Muhammad Faisal, President and CEO of Movellus. “By expanding existing digital design tools to create functionality previously only achievable in analog design, Movellus dramatically improves efficiency and reduces development and verification time by months.”
“Movellus’ technology represents a true disruption in the semiconductor design industry,” said Jim Hogan, Managing Partner, Vista Ventures. “I invested in Movellus after watching Muhammad and his team cross the critical hurdle of proving their technology in silicon with customers.”
