Dolphin Integration focuses on the design of
virtual components of IP to enable low-power
SOCs. The company recently introduced the
logic circuit Motu Uta, which is the standard
representative of complex logic designs. With
Motu Uta, the benchmarking process of
standard-cell libraries is not only objective,
but fast. In addition, the company released
a family of audio converters with low-power
consumption, strategic for nomad audio
applications. Due to its helium architecture,
the converters rely on robust circuitry and offer
high-quality sound. They are supported from
130nm general purpose (GP) down to 65nm
low power (LP), pending the 55nm variant.

open, standards-based technology. Oracle's
supply chain solution helps semiconductor
companies achieve accurate consensus
forecasts, optimized inventory leveling and
postponement strategies, faster planning cycles
and superior on-time delivery.
While Oracle's acquisitions have certainly
added value to their comprehensive solution

innovation of new functionality which stems
from their annual R&D efforts, worth $3
billion annually. This fall Oracle will release a
newly developed standalone product, Oracle
Rapid Planning. The product will answer the
"what if" questions that arise and will allow
supply chain planners to react in minutes to
rapidly changing conditions and exceptions
in a semiconductor company's complex,
multi-tiered supply chain. Using an intuitive,
new user interface (UI) and an event-based,
scalable, incremental planning engine, Oracle
Rapid Planning enables a real-time planning
paradigm providing capabilities to simulate the

Fabless chip companies want faster access to
yield and reliability data from their outsourced
assembly and test (OSAT) providers. They also
want this data to look the same, regardless
of what tester or OSAT it is coming from.
With the high complexity of modern ICs, the
amount of data necessary to keep the supply
chain running without interruption is huge.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
can no longer wait 24 hours for massive data
logs to be transferred from the test floors.
Pintail Technologies' TestScape™ data
management system delivers these capabilities
today along with continuous analysis of
variance (ANOVA) data mining, early warning
alerts, comprehensive data analysis, and point
and click ease-of-use.
