Real Intent Announces New Functional Verification Capabilities and Celebrates Technology Growth at DAC09

Real Intent Inc. will celebrate growth in the number of verification solutions and the technologies embedded in them at the Design Automation Conference (DAC09) in San Francisco next month by showcasing its family of products -- Ascent(TM) for early functional verification, Meridian(TM), the innovative Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) solution, and PureTime(TM) for comprehensive constraints validation. Real Intent's automatic verification solutions use innovative formal techniques to solve critical design and verification problems in an easy to use methodology, resulting in comprehensive error detection and high return on investment.

About Ascent and What's New

Ascent is the complete solution for early functional verification. The Ascent family now includes a new and improved Ascent Lint for smart policy-based lint checking; and a new Ascent PBV for Path-Based verification to achieve desired design connectivity and to ensure X-robust design to prevent and debug Register Transfer Level (RTL)/netlist mismatches; Ascent IIV for comprehensive Implied Intent Verification; and Ascent ABV (formerly called Conquest) for static formal Assertion-Based Verification. Ascent promises to detect 50% of design errors in the early functional development stage with little investment.

Real Intent's Other Flagship Products

Meridian is the most precise, comprehensive and innovative CDC software in the market. Meridian CDC offers high performance structural and formal clock intent analysis, with links to enable dynamic CDC verification in simulation through Meridian SimPortal. Meridian CDC's advanced formal technology ensures correct CDC operations on every crossing and handles free running clocks. Meridian supports both RTL and netlist. Meridian FPGA is the CDC solution for FPGA designs.

PureTime is the best-in-class, comprehensive constraints validation solution with glitch-aware exception verification. PureTime Constraints performs syntax and semantic checks on design constraints, such as clock, IO, timing checks, downstream tool capability and version checks. PureTime Exceptions formally verifies false path and multicycle path exceptions with concise reporting to allow easy debugging.

Prakash Narain, President and CEO at Real Intent, commented, "We are very pleased with the growth of our product offerings to meet the increasing verification challenges faced by our customers. Our three product families cover functional and timing closure verification from early design stage to implementation. It is an exciting time for us to grow our technology and our business. We are happy to celebrate our growth with the design community at DAC."
