Thales takes advice
on next-generation products
Mentor Graphics and Xilinx are helping Thales Communications to develop a new FPGA verification flow to meet its requirements for its next-generation products
With this collaboration, Xilinx will extend its existing EDA partner alliance agreement with Mentor Graphics, to include the FormalPro equivalence checking technology, along with ModelSim HDL simulation, and Precision Synthesis. This collaboration will provide an integrated FPGA methodology Thales requires to enable the development of its next-generation state-of-the-art military and aviation electronics.

"We evaluated several FPGA tools then selected the Mentor Graphics tool suite because of their integrated FPGA design methodology", said Bernard Candaele, ASIC and EDA Department Manager at Thales Communications.
"For equivalency checking, FormalPro delivers the most comprehensive formal verification technology needed for our next generation products.
We currently use FormalPro for SoC designs and would like to extend its use into FPGAs.
We conducted a very thorough evaluation of FormalPro targeting Xilinx libraries and are very satisfied with the results.
The Mentor Graphics bundled solution with Xilinx libraries will provide the technology we need to succeed in our aggressive product development plans".
"Xilinx has a long-standing relationship with Mentor Graphics and Thales", said Bruno Leduc, Xilinx Southern Europe General Manager.
"Xilinx is committed to help Thales and Mentor Graphics integrate the FPGA design flow and verification tools with our libraries to enable Thales' next-generation technology".
"We are pleased to be working with industry leaders Thales and Xilinx to further integrate FormalPro into a complete FPGA methodology", stated Reily Jacoby, FormalPro Division Manager.
"We look forward to our continued collaboration which will enable our customers to achieve design verification success with greater reliability and confidence".
