Meridian CDC 4.0 Offers Complete CDC Sign-off for Designs Over 100 Million Gates; Excels in Performance, Capacity, Accuracy and Usability On January 11, 2012, Real Intent, announced the release of MeridianTM Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) verification software Version 4.0. Its latest enhancements and innovations in the areas of ease of setup, performance and capacity improvements, netlist glitch verification, metastability simulation as well as numerous debugging and usability enhancements, make it the only software solution that enables complete CDC sign-off for over 100M gate SoC designs. Read more on What's New in Meridian CDC 4.0. CDC Insights The last decade has seen a sea change in IC design and verification, enabled by technology innovations of the EDA industry. Clock Domain Crossing verification, an infant technology in 2002, has become a must-have sign-off technology in today's SoC design and verification flow (Read about "A Quick History of Clock Domain Crossing Verification"). Though a well-defined and well-understood problem, CDC verification has become more challenging in recent years due to the emerging trends in SoC designs related to performance and power optimization (Read about "Challenges in Verification of Clock Domain Crossings"). For example, to save power, the clock frequencies of a design can change dynamically during the course of operation of a chip. The ability to verify CDC issues in the presence of clocks with dynamically changing frequencies has become critically important (Read about "Verifying CDC Issues in the Presence of Clocks with Dynamically Changing Frequencies"). Real Intent has offered 3 generations of CDC verification solutions over the last 10 years. With the solid foundation built into Meridian CDC verification technology (Read about "Foundation for Success"), it is not surprising that Meridian CDC becomes the leader in the CDC verification space and the only sign-off quality CDC solution in the market (Read about "Top 3 Reasons Why Designers Switch to Meridian CDC from Real Intent"). Are you using the latest and greatest technology in CDC verification (Read about "Is Your CDC Tool of Sign-off Quality")? Do you know all the ins and outs on performing effective CDC analysis (Read about "What Do You Need to Know for Effective CDC Analysis")? Our CDC experts are here to help you make the best use of the latest CDC technologies so you can achieve CDC sign-off with confidence. Upcoming Events In Q1 2012, Real Intent will attend the following events and conferences: * DvCon, Booth 902, 2/28 - 2/29/2012, San Jose, CA, USA * SNUG, 3/26 - 3/28/2012, Santa Clara, CA, USA For more information, visit realintent.com
