Carbon Design Systems Offers Free Tenison Migration Program

Venice, Florida July 30, 2007 — Following the acquisition of Tenison by ARC International, Carbon Design Systems has announced a program to offer customers of Tenison Design Automation's VTOC products an easy migration path to Carbon's family of model generation solutions.

The Tenison Migration Program is a limited-time offer that includes free use of Carbon's tools, custom integration software, and tailored services to speed the migration in exchange for signing on with Carbon. The program runs now through October 31, 2007.

"Our migration program is designed to give Tenison's customers peace of mind that they will have a fully supported solution to continuously meet their design needs," remarks Scott Seaton, Carbon's vice president of sales. "We've previously been successful in migrating multiple Tenison customer's to Carbon in a couple weeks each."

Carbon's model generation solutions rapidly accelerate the development of models used in the development of firmware. Carbon's solutions compile Verilog, VHDL and mixed-language register transfer level (RTL) designs into high-speed, cycle-accurate virtual hardware models. These models link directly into SystemC or a virtual platform environments like ARM's SoC Designer and CoWare's Platform Architect and enable accurate architectural tradeoffs and the development of firmware, driver and diagnostic code well in advance of silicon.
