Mentor Graphics to Join the SOI Industry Consortium
Consortium, aimed at accelerating silicon-on-insulator (SOI) innovation into
broad markets, announced today that Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:
MENT) has joined the worldwide organization. Mentor is a global leader in
electronic hardware and software design solutions. As an active member and a
leader in design enablement, Mentor will expand EDA tool and methodology
support for SOI technology. This engagement connects Mentor’s strengths in
low-power solutions with the inherent energy-efficiency benefits of SOI
technology.
“Mentor Graphics is pleased to join the SOI Industry Consortium, and
looks forward to advancing design automation support for SOI-based products
and systems in collaboration with other members,” said
Deep Submicron Technologies at Mentor Graphics. “As we engage our expertise
in modeling, characterization, analytics and constructive design tools with
the needs of the global SOI user community, we can help designers and
manufacturers exploit all of the underlying goodness of SOI technology.”
“We welcome Mentor Graphics as our newest member, and are excited about
the many prospects. Their EDA technology leadership in green, low-power
design and design-for-manufacturing solutions will benefit many of our
members,” said
Consortium. “Mentor’s strengths in mixed signal and RF design enablement are
also well-aligned with the expanding usage of SOI.”
The SOI Industry Consortium welcomes companies, organizations, government
and academic institutions to join the group in applying the full benefits of
SOI-based electronics to global sustainability challenges and lowering the
total cost-of-ownership of electronics.
