Microwave Networks predicts with
SpyGlass
Microwave Networks has selected Atrenta's SpyGlass predictive analyser to identify critical problems early in the design cycle and implement an effective design-for-reuse and best practices strategy.
Microwave Networks, a division of Siemens ICN, has selected Atrenta's SpyGlass predictive analyser to identify critical problems early in the design cycle and implement an effective design-for-reuse and best practices strategy SpyGlass' unique look-ahead capability lets Siemens' engineers check for complex design errors and comply with downstream issues at the RTL, before lengthy simulation and synthesis runs, thereby saving months of recoding, resynthesis and re-verification cycles

Analysis tool checks structure of RTL code
SpyGlass 3.0 from Atrenta is a predictive analysis tool that cuts IC design time by providing the industry's first structural analysis of RTL (register transfer level) code.
Analysis tool checks testability of RTL code
Atrenta's SpyGlass DFT incorporates two new engines to find testability issues at register transfer level (RTL) that would normally only be identified at the gate level.
Designers are also able to address reuse issues at the RTL where they are most comfortable working and easily leverage intellectual property to reduce design and schedule risks.
"SpyGlass is central to our plans for an efficient re-use methodology", said Maurizio Montefiori, ASIC Development Manager at Siemens Microwave Networks.
"SpyGlass' powerful customisation capability has enabled us to rapidly develop and deploy internal coding guidelines throughout our design groups, which help eliminate cumbersome reuse and best-practice documentation and replace it with an automated environment".
"SpyGlass' unique look-ahead capability enables Siemens Microwave Networks to address reuse considerations at the RT level where it is most valuable.
This helps Siemens meet its competitive challenges by enabling a more effective design reuse strategy", stated Ghulam Nurie, senior vice president of marketing and business development at Atrenta.
"SpyGlass allows its users to efficiently utilise pre-packaged, industry-developed reuse practices as well as create new proprietary and customised approaches that address reuse and a broad range of best design practices at the same time".
