Scalable Verification Partners

ModelSim Partner Programs

Today's EDA marketplace demands integrated world class solutions. No one company alone can deliver this. Through ModelSims partnerships you can be assured of the best available "total solution" comprised of Mentor Graphics' world-class tools and key partner technologies. Our strategic partnership programs include:

• Silicon Vendor Partners
• Value Added Partners
• Field Programable Gate Array (FPGA) Partners

Silicon Vendor Program
ModelSim gained qualified / sign off Verilog support for over 270 different technologies, including very deep submicron technologies for 90nm / 65nm. ModelSim remains the reference simulator for VHDL / VITAL with a equally strong library support of about 250 different technologies. Customers, independent if they use ASIC, structured ASIC, SoC and FPGA can rely on comprehensive qualified / sign off library support through our Silicon Vendor Partners.

ModelSim achieved mixed language qualification / sign off support from 15 Silicon Vendor Partners, which strengthens again ModelSim position as the preferred mixed language simulator. Customers can stay with their language of choice during the RTL design phase and increase the verification performance through using Verilog for gate level sign off simulation.

Mentor Graphics ModelSim organization wants to keep the customers and prospects appraised of the rewarded library support from our Silicon Vendor Partners. The most up to date information is accessible through our Silicon Technology Database, which covers the Verilog, VHDL library and 'Mixed Language' support. A direct link to the Silicon Vendor Partners websites provide more details about the different technologies.

Value Added Partner Program
The ModelSim Value Added Partnership (VAP) program is established to bring you world-class product integrations and interoperability.

You have built design and verification processes that are built on open standard languages that give you design data portability and flexibility to select the best tools for the task.  To enhance your selection and use of ModelSim, we partner with electronic design automation companies to integrate their tools and technology with ModelSim to meet your interoperability needs.  We partner leading semiconductor companies so they can offer sign-off certified design libraries to meet your most demanding nanometer design challenges.  And, to give you the broadest selection of pre-designed, qualified and tested Intellectual Property blocks, we work with leading suppliers of IP cores to guarantee they work well with ModelSim.

Our partners encompass your entire design process from system concept and design, design entry and management, advanced verification methods to back-end production test.  At every step of the process you can be assured that those companies that you depend on are able to work with us to offer you the best design process possible.

In addition to the external alliances in our VAP program, we work with Mentor Graphics product teams to bring state-of-the-art integrations to you.   You will find advanced integrations of leading design, verification and test products and technology that is not possible with others.
