Ever wonder how to get out of long chip
implementation loops? Do routing congestion,
timing closure, over-budget power numbers
and schedule slips cause worries? Atrenta
has the solution. The company has taken the
concepts of Early Design Closure® to the next
level. Two unified platforms and two steps to
freedom from back-end implementation woes
are now available. Atrenta's 1Team®-Genesis
platform has everything companies need to
enter designs at a high level of abstraction,
plan the architecture and establish feasibility.
And the industry-standard SpyGlass® platform
has everything customers need to validate
and optimize designs at register transfer level
(RTL). Now, companies can get it right from
the start and then hand-off to the back-end
implementation flow knowing the path to
silicon will be smooth and predictable.

Certicom, the worldwide leader in elliptic curve
cryptography, has introduced a new product
called Asset Management System (AMS™).
AMS provides a turn-key solution that enables
digital technology companies to securely
manage valuable digital assets throughout their
global supply chain. Digital assets may take
different forms, but are typically defined as
identity information, digital content protection
(DCP) keys, conditional access system (CAS)
keys, manufacturing codes, (secure) boot code,
firmware parameters as well as personalization
or configuration information.

Device quality and reliability have long
been paramount for automotive, medical
and defense applications; but increasingly,
consumers have grown to expect their PCs,
digital cameras, liquid crystal display (LCD)
TVs, etc. to operate defect-free for years. At
the same time, many fabless companies do
not have the resources or control over the
manufacturing process required to implement
defect per million (DPM) reduction programs
such as part average test, lonely die test, etc.
Galaxy Semiconductor Solutions now offers
Yield-Man 6.0 with statistical yield limits/statistical bin limits (SYL/SBL)—an easy way
to automatically identify wafers and lots that
have unusually low yield or high bin failures,
which can significantly impact quality and
reliability. SYL/SBL can be implemented by
fabless companies at a low cost without major
impact to the test process.

Oracle provides industry-leading business
solutions for the semiconductor industry based
on best-of-breed applications, middleware and
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 capabilities, few have
recognized the continual innovation of new
functionality which stems from their annual
research and development (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
impact of events and use embedded analytics
to gain predictive and actionable insight. Please
contact Oracle to request a demo of the new
Oracle Rapid Planning.
