Trident Microsystems Implements Mentor Graphics Veloce Hardware Emulator for Digital TV SoCs

Mentor Graphics, a developer of system verification solutions, announced that Trident Microsystems, a provider of semiconductor system solutions for the multimedia and digital television markets, has adopted Mentor's Veloce platform for the complete system-level verification of its digital TV SoC chips.

"In the fast-moving consumer electronics market, Trident needs to be able to react quickly to market dynamics while minimizing the risks involved in the integration of our next-generation SoCs," said Saeid Moshkelani, senior VP of engineering, Trident Microsystems. "Adopting Veloce for the accelerated verification and emulation of SoCs, and the support we have received from Mentor, plays a role in meeting these challenges, and producing products for customers."

The Veloce platform is a dual-mode accelerator/emulator, providing MHz performance for both transaction-based verification and traditional in-circuit emulation (ICE). With a portfolio of vertical market solutions, the Veloce product is the platform of choice for multimedia, wireless, networking, and embedded systems applications.
