ROCHESTER, NY – EMA Design Automation has announced a vendor participation program where manufacturers can contribute part kits to EMA’s TimingDesigner Design Kit library. GSI became the first participant by contributing kits for its SigmaQuad
family of memory devices. The company states that the ability for
vendors to provide timing models for inclusion in the EMA Design Kit
Program will ensure the accuracy required to define and setup timing
analysis for their products.
“With the speed and complexity of today’s designs, customers need
accurate tools and time saving models to help them tackle these
[design] challenges,” said Manny Marcano, EMA president and CEO. “EMA
has responded with the TimingDesigner Design Kit Program to provide
accurate static timing models for its customers. We are very excited to
see that GSI recognizes the value in our solution for its customers.”
According to the company, design kits consist of preassembled component
diagrams using manufacturers’ specifications that includes libraries
for speed and voltage ratings, and that each kit contains timing
protocols that can be imported into TimingDesigner’s Manager Window.
The company also states that component manufacturers can use the
program to create kits for their digital devices, and add them to the
design kit library as well.
“GSI is proud to provide our customers with TimingDesigner design kits
for our SigmaQuad family of SRAM products,” said David Chapman, GSI
marketing and applications engineering VP. “These kits will enable our
customers to perform an accurate and detailed timing analysis of their
SigmaQuad memory interfaces.”
