CHAMELEON SYSTEMS PARTNERS WITH ZAIQ TECHNOLOGIES TO DELIVER NEXT-GENERATION PROCESSOR CHIP
--Leading Semiconductor Design Firm to Lead Verification of High-Bandwidth
Reconfigurable Communications Processor
--
Woburn, Mass. - April 2, 2001 - Zaiq Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of complete design engineering solutions, announced today that Chameleon Systems, a leading fabless developer of communications semiconductors, has selected Zaiq to lead the verification of its 0.25-micron and 0.18-micron chips.
Chameleon Systems will tap Zaiq Technologies' networking and communications expertise to execute verification for the Chameleon 0.25-micron and 0.18-micron chips, designed for wireless communications applications. Zaiq will set up a robust verification environment for chips using Zaiq's state-of-the-art verification methodology, supporting RTL (register transfer level) to netlist realization. Additionally, the verification environment will be used to emulate actual lab debug activities. Zaiq will conduct system level, block level functional and gate level verification and testability analysis for the complex Chameleon chips.
"Zaiq's extensive experience in verification and project management made them the clear choice to lead this project," said Ana Hunter, vice president of operations and acting vice president of hardware for Chameleon Systems. "It was crucial for us to partner with a verification team that possessed an exceptional level of expertise as we work to provide communications and networking companies with the highest quality in performance and flexibility."
Highly flexible processors that can be reconfigured remotely in the field, Chameleon's chips are designed to simplify communication system design while delivering increased price/performance numbers. The 0.25-micron chip, the CS2112, was introduced in May 2000, while the 0.18-micron chip is due out later this year.
"Innovative companies like Chameleon Systems rely on seasoned engineering talent and proven methodologies to provide them with breakthrough time-to-revenue design engineering solutions," said Ray Carlin, president and chief executive officer for Zaiq Technologies. "Chameleon's decision to work with Zaiq will enable them to quickly and cost effectively provide the communications market with next-generation processing capabilities."
