MediaTek Inc., a leading fabless semiconductor company for Wireless communications and digital media solutions, and Carbon Design Systems, the leading supplier of system level modeling and validation tools for system-on-chip (SoC) design, announced today that they have entered into a multi-year strategic partnership to deploy Carbon Model Studio™ and Carbonized models of third-party intellectual property (IP) within Mediatek.
Over the past year, Mediatek engineers have successfully adopted Carbon’s system-level modeling to speedup electronic system level (ESL) platform buildup. During this time, architects adopted Carbon’s solutions for performance analysis and optimization of various subsystems in their advanced SoC designs.
Scott Seaton, vice president of sales and marketing at Carbon Design Systems, says: “This multi-year, strategic relationship between MediaTek and Carbon shows a deepening commitment by MediaTek to deploy system-level solutions to reduce time to market. It confirms our conviction that pre-built and pre-tested models of third-party IP and model generation tools are efficient to implement virtual platforms for architectural analysis/optimization and pre-silicon system validation.”
