Oki has selected Forte's Cynthesizer behavioural synthesis product for use in designing its next generation systems-on-chip (SoCs). Cynthesizer's industry leading quality of results and immediate ability to be deployed in SoC production flows were cited as key factors in the decision. 'It has been a challenge to convert SystemC to RTL in a short period of time with low power consumption for our mobile application designs'.

'During our testing, Forte's Cynthesizer proved it produces a gate area that is equivalent to RTL conversion done by hand, as well as reduce development time and power consumption', said Kazuhiko Maki, Silicon Platform Design Department Senior Manager at Oki Electric.

'Going forward we will provide low power, high quality, and short time-to-market products to our customers by using Cynthesizer in our system LSI development; we plan to incorporate Cynthesizer into our standard design flow in the fiscal year ending March 2006'.

'We are excited to have a leading semiconductor company such as Oki make this next move in adopting Cynthesizer', said Brett Cline, Forte's Vice President of Customer Operations and Services.

'We are especially pleased that Oki has already demonstrated Cynthesizer's quality of results in production designs'.

'This is further evidence of the growing momentum of both high level design and Cynthesizer in today's IC design market'.
