“Our SiWare 40nm general process customers have enjoyed early access to design more competitive chips at reduced risk while helping enable them to take advantage of significant cost savings,” said Brani Buric, executive vice president of marketing, Virage Logic. “By expanding the availability of the SiWare product line to include low power processes, customers designing for end markets such as wireless, battery-operated and consumer applications can take advantage of the product line’s advanced power management capabilities. With static power savings of up to 35 percent, 70 percent and 95 percent, depending on the selection of the built-in power management modes available in both the 40nm general and low power memories, we believe this provides our customers with a competitive advantage.”
About Virage Logic’s SiWare Memory Compilers and SiWare Logic Libraries
The SiWare Memory product line of silicon aware compilers provides power-optimized memories for advanced processes at 65nm and 40nm. These high-performance memory compilers minimize both static and dynamic power consumption and provide optimal yields. SiWare High-Density memory compilers are optimized to generate memories with the absolute minimum area. SiWare High-Speed memory compilers are designed to help designers achieve the most aggressive critical path requirements. Compile-time options for power saving modes, read and write margin extensions, ultra-low voltage operation, and innovative design for at-speed test enable SoC designers to configure optimal solutions for their specific design requirements.
The SiWare Logic product line includes yield-optimized standard cells for a wide variety of design applications at 65nm and 40nm with multiple threshold process variants. SiWare Logic libraries are offered using three separate architectures to optimize circuits for Ultra-High-Density, High-Speed, or general use. SiWare Power Optimization Kits provide designers with advanced power management capabilities.
