OCZ meets time-to-market goals with Synopsys’ IP integration
To accelerate the completion of their project, meet their performance requirements and achieve first-pass silicon success with a production-ready design, OCZ has selected Synopsys’ technology and services as announced by Synopsys.
Targeting the high-end consumer market, OCZ Technology Group (OCZ) has achieved first-pass silicon success for its NAND flash Vector SSD using Synopsys’ DesignWare DDR2/3-Lite PHY, Embedded Memories, STAR Memory System solution and Professional Services.
OCZ selected Synopsys’ high-performance and area-optimizedDDR2/3 PHY, embedded SRAMs and integrated memory test and repair solution.
Brian McMath, Technical Director, OCZ, said, We partnered with an established vendor like Synopsys that had the proven portfolio of IP, design flows and services that we needed. Of particular value to us was the DDR3 PHY integration expertise Synopsys Professional Services brought to the project. The combination of Synopsys’ proven DesignWare IP, experienced design consultants and tape out-proven Lynx Design System made it possible for us to achieve our performance goals while saving an estimated two months of schedule time.
Companies such as OCZ who develop innovative electronic products need design solutions they can rely onto mitigate project risks and meet tight time
to market windows. Synopsys invests heavily in developing high quality DesignWare IP so our customers can focus on the aspects of their design that differentiate them from the competition, said John Koeter, Vice-President of Marketing for IP and Systems, Synopsys.
In addition, Synopsys’ design consultants worked closely with OCZ’s engineers throughout the implementation of their chip, delivering expertise and advanced methodologies in IP integration, physical design, and physical verification that enabled OCZ to complete their implementation in less than six months.
