Lustenau, Austria & Buckinghamshire, UK -- November 4, 2008
– Wipro NewLogic and IN2FAB Technology today announced the launch of a
new facility to provide design porting services for analog mixed signal
and custom IC designs between foundry processes and geometries. The
co-operation enables IC designs and IP to be ported to a manufacturing
standard in just a few weeks, typically offering upto 10X reductions in
cycle time and engineering costs as well as freeing up customer's
engineers to focus on other potentially higher value added activities. Known
as "Port-on-Demand", this service line will reside within Wipro
NewLogic's Product Engineering Services division based in Bangalore,
India and Lustenau, Austria. Wipro NewLogic has assembled
world class semiconductor design and engineering operations in India
and Europe offering a full capability for IC design services with
competitive cost and time to market benefits. Over several years
IN2FAB has established a strong track record of porting silicon
successfully with its migration tools and methodologies covering all
CMOS geometries including most recently the 45nm node. IN2FAB will
provide its migration tools, methodologies and infrastructure to the
"Port-on-Demand" facility. Commenting on the launch of this
venture Senthil Murugesan, CEO Wipro NewLogic, said "To meet our
customers' requirement for innovative, fast, and high quality design
services, we have structured our business by adding "Port-on-Demand."
We are pleased to have IN2FAB as our founding partner in this venture.
Their established porting credentials will complement our well
established and leading business in analog design". Robert
Baker, CEO, IN2FAB said "Working with Wipro NewLogic on this venture is
an ideal scenario and complements the offerings at IN2FAB. Wipro
NewLogic is the leader in the market for IC design services with a
global presence and a well earned reputation for excellence and
quality. By combining this with our proven porting technology it
creates a highly compelling business proposition for design porting
with extensive scale and reach. By combining these two
strengths, this co-operation will provide a powerful and compelling
business proposition to overcome some critical bottlenecks for the
industry. Although analog content within system-on-chip is growing,
companies are unable to scale up proportionately in terms of skilled
resources. Also, the current industry standard cycle times for analog
redesign are long and costly. The "Port-on-Demand" service will help
solve these challenges.
