BW)(CA-EXEMPLAR-LOGIC)(MENT) Lucent Technologies Broadens FPGA Offering; OEMs LeonardoSpectrum Synthesis Solution from Exemplar Logic Business/Technology Editors FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 11, 1999--Exemplar Logic, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT), today announced that Lucent Technologies' (NYSE:LU) Microelectronics Group will OEM Exemplar's LeonardoSpectrum(TM) synthesis solution and its LeonardoInsight(TM) design analysis environment. These electronic design automation (EDA) software tools will provide Lucent's ORCA Series 3 customers with a high-end synthesis solution. "As we introduce exciting alternatives to standard FPGA architectures, such as our new field-programmable system chips (FPSCs), our customers gain a real advantage using the advanced synthesis capabilities of LeonardoSpectrum," said Barry Britton, FPGA marketing director for Lucent Microelectronics. "FPSCs combine an embedded system solution, such as PCI, with up to 60 K gates of programmable logic. LeonardoSpectrum's ability to support our IP timing and loading models, automatically infer single- and dual-port RAMs and efficiently map users' HDL code to our new soft-wired LUTs makes it a logical choice for our customers." A Comprehensive Synthesis Environment The LeonardoSpectrum synthesis tool combines design entry, synthesis, analysis, verification and place-and-route interfaces into a single easy-to-use, modular product that can be tailored to customer-specific needs. LeonardoInsight provides a graphical display of synthesis results, integrating hardware description language (HDL) source viewing with hierarchical design browsing and schematic viewing. Cross-probing allows users to select HDL code in the source viewer and highlight the resulting gate, port or net in the schematic and hierarchy viewers. "We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with Lucent," said Tom Feist, vice president of marketing for Exemplar. "LeonardoSpectrum is the industry's most advanced logic synthesis tool. Combined with ORCA Foundry, it provides a powerful, complete design flow for Lucent Technologies' FPGA/FPSC customers."
