DSL chipsets to market
DSL chipset provider Metalink has deployed the Cadence Encounter digital IC design platform to meet the intensive design challenges of nanometre technology
Metalink products are based on the company's Olympus-DSL technology, a unified architecture consisting of an embedded MIPS RISC processor and universal software programming interfaces. The Olympus-DSL solutions enable broadband telecomms providers to offer multiple channels streaming television and video, full service telephone and high-speed data access that can be delivered simultaneously over the existing copper-wire infrastructure.

Metalink's deployment of the Cadence Encounter platform follows its success at shipping more than 150,000 chipsets worldwide and achieving more than 40 design wins in Asia-Pacific using Cadence's Silicon Ensemble PKST RTL-to-GSDII design flow.
'After an exhaustive evaluation of several possible tools for use in our next-generation designs, we found the Encounter platform to be the best fit for our technical needs', said Yuval Itkin, VLSI Director of Metalink.
'It provides Metalink's designers with the combination of short cycle time, as well as all of the deep submicron special requirements, which are critical for competitive advantage in the broadband access chipset market'.
'As Metalink's products migrate to next-generation VDSL chipsets, we wanted the most effective tools to advance our cutting-edge technology', said David Pereg, Metalink's Vice President of Engineering.
'Cadence's Encounter digital IC design platform provides us with an optimised set of software tools to take full advantage of the silicon's capabilities'.
'Metalink has achieved fantastic success in standardising its chipsets on Cadence's complete design flows', said Guillaume d'Eyssautier, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Cadence Europe.
'Encounter will give Metalink the end-to-end design platform required to manage the technical complexities and commercial demands of scaling for nanometre designs'.
