AppliedMicro Adopts Apache's RedHawk Solution

AppliedMicro, a provider of energy conscious computing and communications solutions for Datacenter, Telecom, Enterprise and Consumer Applications, has announced it adopted Apache Design Solutions’ RedHawk solution.

 

This full-chip dynamic power integrity solution will enable accurate power analysis, sign-off, and optimization of AppliedMicro’s system-on-chip (SoC) and mixed-signal designs.

 

Apache’s officials inform that their solution was chosen due to its proven abilities and the capacity to handle designs used in AppliedMicro’s multi-core products for global wide area network (WAN) and storage area network (SAN) applications.

 

AppliedMicro also appreciates Apache’s roadmap and track record for SoC power and noise integrity.

 

Michael Raam, vice president of engineering at AppliedMicro observed that they have been able to gain market share in this competitive consumer market by balancing the cost and design risk.

 

Leveraging the accuracy and capacity offered by RedHawk, AppliedMicro is able to analyze their complex SoC designs from early prototyping to signoff. Raam expects Apache’s broad product offering in power and noise integrity from SoC to mixed-signal IPs and high-speed I/Os to help them aggressively move into post sub-micron designs.

 

“We are very pleased to have AppliedMicro place their confidence in our advanced low-power solutions,” said Andrew Yang, CEO at Apache. “With over 100 customers worldwide, the growing adoption of our solutions demonstrates Apache’s continuing execution in delivering the best-in-class power and noise integrity products.”

 

Apache Design Solutions delivers the global power and noise analyses platform solutions for Chip-Package-System convergence.

 

Last week, the company announced the launch of Totem, the industry’s first integrated power and noise integrity platform that addresses the challenges associated with global couplings of power/ground noise, substrate noise, and package / PCB capacitive and inductive noise, for analog, mixed-signal, memory, and high-speed I/O designs.
