Apache’s RedHawk Power Integrity Solution Adopted by AppliedMicro for their SoC and Mixed-Signal Designs
Apache Design Solutions announced that AppliedMicro, a global leader in energy conscious computing and communications solutions for Datacenter, Telecom, Enterprise and Consumer Applications, has adopted Apache’s RedHawk, a full-chip dynamic power integrity solution, for accurate power analysis, sign-off, and optimization of their system-on-chip (SoC) and mixed-signal designs. AppliedMicro selected RedHawk based on its product maturity and the capacity to handle designs used in their multi-core products for global wide area network (WAN) and storage area network (SAN) applications. AppliedMicro’s adoption is also based on Apache’s roadmap and track record for SoC power and noise integrity.
“In the competitive consumer market, balancing the cost and design risk allows us to gain market share,” said Michael Raam, vice president of engineering at AppliedMicro. “RedHawk offers us the accuracy and capacity needed to analyze our complex SoC designs from early prototyping to signoff. In addition, Apache’s broad product offering in power and noise integrity from SoC to mixed-signal IPs and high-speed I/Os make them a good technology partner as we aggressively move into post sub-micron designs.”
“We are very pleased to have AppliedMicro place their confidence in our advanced low-power solutions,” said Andrew Yang, CEO at Apache. “With over 100 customers worldwide, the growing adoption of our solutions demonstrates Apache’s continuing execution in delivering the best-in-class power and noise integrity products.”
