Maynard, MA – January 15,
2009 - Signal Integrity Software, Inc. (SiSoft™) today announced that Quantum
Channel Designer ™ (QCD), their latest serial link analysis product for
system-level design and analysis of serial links up to 20 Gbps, has been
selected as a finalist for a Design Vision Award at DesignCon 2009. Quantum
Channel Designer made the shortlist for the award in the area of System Modeling
and Simulation Tools. The finalists were selected by the DesignCon 2009
Technical Program Committee, consisting of industry experts in the semiconductor
and electronic design engineering community. The IEC will announce winners on
Tuesday, February 3 at 11:50, in the Main Theater at the
Santa ClaraConvention Center.
"The interest surrounding
the DesignVision Awards and DesignCon conveys the importance of electronic
design innovations today. We are extremely proud to honor the individuals and
companies committed to advancing the electronic design and semiconductor
industry,” stated IEC President John Janowiak. “We must also thank the judges
for analyzing the exemplary submissions received this year.”
“We’re honored to be
nominated for this award”, said Barry Katz, President and CTO of SiSoft,
“Multi-Gigabit serial links present new requirements for simulation capacity and
accuracy that traditional simulation tools can’t meet. Quantum Channel Designer
combines advanced simulation techniques with a graphic user interface and
superior automation to place advanced analysis in the hands of the System
Designer. Quantum Channel Designer is the first dedicated serial link analysis
tool that can be used by both System Designers and dedicated Signal Integrity
Specialists.”
SiSoft representatives will
be demonstrating Quantum Channel Designer on the show floor at DesignCon in
Santa Clara. Exhibition hours are from 12:30PM to 6:30PM
on both Tuesday and Wednesday, February 3-4. If you are unable to attend
DesignCon 2009 and would like additional information, please email

About SiSoft™
SiSoft™ is the leading provider of integrated signal integrity and timing
solutions for high-speed digital system design. SiSoft's latest product,
Quantum Channel Designer™
(QCD), is a dedicated, system-level design and analysis environment for
serial links up to 20 Gbps. QCD incorporates the latest frequency-domain,
time-domain and statistical techniques to simulate the combined behavior of the
passive channel and SerDes IP. Designers capture designs graphically, then
experiment with different physical layout & equalization strategies to predict
how design tradeoffs affect operating margins and link Bit Error Rate (BER).
Standards-based (IBIS-AMI) SerDes IP models provide the accuracy and performance
required to meet the needs of serial link design.
SiSoft’s
Quantum-SI™ products
allow users to rapidly determine interface operating margins and achieve
High-Speed Timing Closure™, providing unprecedented accuracy in predicting
system-level noise and timing margins. Quantum-SI Interface Analysis Kits are
pre-configured analysis setups for popular interface standards, such as DDR2 and
DDR3, that encapsulate both interface architectures and design requirements to
accelerate the high-speed design process.
SiSoft’s
consulting services
organization uses Quantum Channel Designer and Quantum-SI tools to provide
advanced high-speed consulting services including IBIS model development,
package design/analysis and system-level interconnect analysis -- ensuring that
SiSoft’s signal integrity tools remain at the forefront of high-speed design.
