ROCHESTER, N.Y. -  EMA Design Automation released TimingDesigner 9.0 that features Design Kits with assembled diagrams and libraries for commonly used parts and interface protocol standards.

The TimingDesigner design kits are pre-assembled component timing diagrams complete with all specified libraries for speed and voltage ratings. The kits have all documented timing protocols associated with one or more design components. According to EMA they are intended to give designers a quick start for timing analysis of their designs.

TimingDesigner is proposed to aid high-speed, multi-frequency designs by accurately modeling and analyzing the signal relationships between devices on a board or between embedded functions on an ASIC or FPGA. According to EMA it can evaluate comprehensive sets of timing alternatives and provide direction to the most complex of timing challenges.

TimingDesigner 9.0 will be available July 1, 2007.
