Atrenta Named by EDN in Hot 100 Products of 2010

Online, December 20, 2010 (Newswire.com) - SpyGlass®-Physical recognized as one of five innovative products in EDA

San Jose, Calif. - Atrenta Inc., the leading provider of Early Design Closure® solutions to radically improve design efficiency throughout the IC design flow, has been recognized by EDN for introducing one of the Hot 100 products for 2010. The EDA category in EDN's Hot 100 product list contained five entries, including Atrenta's SpyGlass®-Physical product, which was announced at the 46th Design Automation Conference.

Selected by the editors of EDN, the Hot 100 products list recognizes new products that heated up the electronics world and grabbed the attention of EDN's editors and readers. SpyGlass-Physical is an innovative product that provides early estimates of area, power, timing and routability for register transfer level (RTL) designers without the need for physical design expertise or tools.

The product helps to achieve performance targets in concurrent block/SoC development processes by using a rich set of interactive implementation analysis features. Customers at major semiconductor companies have validated that using SpyGlass-Physical early in the design process provides a substantial improvement in design closure time.

"We believe that SpyGlass-Physical provides a disruptive technology for advanced chip design," said Mike Gianfagna, vice president of marketing for Atrenta. "Getting control of power, area, routing congestion and timing early in the design process, before physical implementation, can have substantial positive impact on time to market and delivered quality. We are honored to be recognized for this work by EDN in their Hot 100 products list for 2010."
