Evatronix IP Cores now in LFoundry process design kit

Evatronix IP cores now available to the LFoundry's process design kits (PDK) in both 150 nm and 350 nm technology platforms, which is used for the development of analog / mixed signal products especially for European SoC developers.

Evatronix says its IP in LFoundry's PDK libraries offers fast and small 8051 microcontrollers, USB 2.0 High Speed, NAND Flash and SDIO memory controllers and the Gigabit Ethernet MAC.

Evatronix IP will be available in service schemes such as full mask sets, multi layer masks and multi project wafers.

"Thanks to this agreement, Evatronix is able to offer a full range of ASIC development services to its customers," said Wojciech Sakowski, Evatronix President and CEO. "Evatronix and LFoundry can now leverage on each other's experience and guide the customer through the whole product design and development process, instead of taking or leaving him half way. The designer can focus on the added value of his chip and can pick third party IP to complete his design, which is already proven to work in the target technology."

"With our focus on giving our customers best flexibility and early synergies between design and process development, including the European IP provider Evatronix in our libraries is one further step enabling our customers cut time-to-market even more than before," said Michael Lehnert, LFoundry CEO. "With this partnership we can further strengthen the analog / mixed signal industry by providing to our customers IP service for their SoCs through Evatronix and also fast and reliable foundry manufacturing by LFoundry."
