Creonic GmbH joins Aldec's UNITE Programme as IP Partner

Aldec Europe announces Creonic GmbH has joined its UNITE Programme as an IP Partner.

This partnership is to provide interoperability to Creonic's IP with Aldec’s EDA tools such as Active-HDL, Riviera-PRO and ALINT. Creonic offer precompiled simulation models of its IP cores to improve simulation performance.

Dr. Matthias Alles, CEO and co-founder of Creonic, comments: “We use Aldec’s solutions to accelerate the development of our cutting-edge IP cores. For example, ALINT is used heavily for design rule checking and Riviera-PRO is our chosen platform for advanced verification. We’re also a keen advocate of the functional coverage capability within the Open Source VHDL Verification Methodology (OS-VVM™), with which Aldec has strong ties.”

Creonic offers ready-for-use IP cores for many communications algorithms and the company’s areas of expertise include Forward Error Correction (e.g. LDPC and Turbo coding) and synchronization, as well as MIMO and OFDM.

Christina Toole, Corporate Marketing Manager of Aldec Inc., states: “Long-term relationships are the cornerstone of Aldec’s success, and through our UNITE™ Programme we are working with many of the industry’s most well-known vendors of EDA solutions, IP developers and training companies to benefit our mutual customers.”

Alles concludes: “Through our use of Aldec’s EDA solutions and taking advantage of the OS-VVM we’re able to ensure our IP products comply with the highest requirements in terms of quality and performance. In addition, and a most welcome benefit, the UNITE™ programme has opened up new sales avenues for our IP offerings.”
