AMIS Deploys Interra’s MC2 as Their Memory Development Platform

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Interra Systems, Inc., the leading provider of design automation solutions for memory design, announced that AMI Semiconductor, leader in the design and manufacture of silicon solutions for the real world has deployed MC2, the memory development system, from Interra Systems to improve their embedded memory creation and validation methodology.

“MC2 is being used as an integral part of IP development methodology for memory design at AMIS,” said John Kent, Vice President Technology Development (TD) group at AMIS. “MC2 has helped deliver high quality memory instances quickly and efficiently to our internal and external customers. Several ASICs, integrating memories designed using MC2, have already gone through silicon and we are pleased to see effectiveness of our new methodology using MC2,” he added.

“We are pleased that AMIS selected MC2, Memory Development System,” said Sunil Jain, President and CEO for Interra Systems. “AMIS was looking for an automation technology that would cut down their development time, enable memory re-use, and rapid sub-micron process migration. Our comprehensive technology and services has helped AMIS achieve this objective.”

MC2, the Memory Development System

MC2 automates the design process for standard and embedded memories. It also provides a platform for seamless migration to new processes. It enhances the overall methodology for the design and distribution of memories to ensure the re-use of a base design over many generations of sub-micron processes. MC2 provides a platform to define memory architecture using a language that is then used for instance creation, characterization, self-test, and validation. Several SoC companies and semiconductor foundries have taken advantage of MC2 capabilities for scaling their memory designs to higher densities, placing memories within their SoC, ASIC or IC designs, and to make their design process more efficient.
