Portland, Ore., July 21, 2009 Lynguent(R), Inc., a privately-funded start-up, announced a new toolkit for the ModLyng(TM) Integrated Modeling Environment (IME): Event-Driven Mixed-Signal (EDMS) Toolkit. ModLyng IME is the industry’s first tool for analog mixed-signal (AMS) integrated circuit (IC) design that enables users to create, manage and support HDL-based simulation models for analog, digital and mixed-signal domains. The Event-Driven Mixed-Signal Toolkit is a collection of libraries containing building blocks that support the creation of models for analog devices using event-driven (digital) techniques used in SoC verification. Semiconductor and system IC design teams that use the Event-Driven Mixed-Signal Toolkit with the ModLyng IME save weeks in development time, that can improve a company’s bottom-line by hundreds of thousands of dollars per design project.

The Event-Driven Mixed-Signal (EDMS) Toolkit

•reduces the time required for a simulation by 1000x so that simulation can be done in minutes rather than days or weeks, thus enabling users to trade off total verification time against test coverage,

•enables the reuse of Model building blocks to reduce the risk of functional errors in the EDMS model, and

•enables EDMS models of analog devices to be quickly created by analog designers and then handed off to digital designers to modify with no assistance needed.

"Behavioral modeling of analog mixed-signal circuits is difficult but necessary to advance the cause of mixed-signal design and verification”, said Steven Lewis, Product Marketing Director at Cadence. "Lynguent's ability to ease the modeling effort and build quality models that support Cadence's AMS Designer, is of great value to our mutual customers."

Lynguent will demonstrate the Event-Driven Mixed-Signal Toolkit in Booth 4060 at the Design Automation Conference, San Francisco, Calif., July 26 – 30, 2009.

Pricing and Availability

The Event-Driven Mixed-Signal Toolkit is priced at $5,000.00 U.S. for a one year license and is currently available.
