About Real Intent's Products
PureTime™, a software timing exception prover (verifier), extends the company's formal technology to address design implementation challenges by proving the correctness of timing exceptions created by designers using 100% exhaustive analysis.

Verix™ family is a set of software verification tools, built upon a single unified database. Verix products utilize the power of formal analysis to verify design assertions and either prove them correct or detect bugs that are hard to find. Verix can detect defects entirely missed with other Register Transfer Level (RTL) verification techniques. A combination of highly optimized formal engines and patented automatic design partitioning gives Verix the industry's largest formal capacity and proof capability. The Verix family includes Expressed Intent Verification (formal assertion based verification), Clock Intent Verification (metastability and hazard detection) and Implied Intent Verification (automatic design verification).
