"Mentor Graphics is recognised as a leading supplier of USB controllers and their IP core proved easy to integrate into our platform design.
The company also provided the necessary engineering support to guarantee that the integration worked at first pass".
"Companies are wary about turning to an unknown IP vendor for their critical system building blocks", said Dr Susheel Chandra, general manager of the Mentor Graphics, Inventra Intellectual Property division.
"Mentor Graphics is a proven silicon IP vendor with over one hundred customers who have successfully integrated our leading-edge cores.
