LEDA Design Launches in Europe

Paris, February 16 2004. LEDA Design, the new name for specialised IP libraries and design outsourcing, is making its European public debut at DATE 2004.

LEDA Design, which incorporates people and technology from former LEDA Systems, was established in July 2003. The company creates and sells IP/IC solutions, including customisable IP libraries, and provides expert engineering teams along with complete infrastructure for outsourcing IP or chip design from design centre in Yerevan, Armenia. Design teams can also work on the customer’s site using LEDA Design IP/IC solution platforms.

Dr. Vahram Mouradian, Chairman and President of LEDA Design said, “While we are a new name, our history is well established. We have over eight years worth of technical skills in analog and mixed-signal design and accumulated technology in our solutions-based platforms, which we use to support for companies wanting to create market leading products.”

“We concentrate our offer in two areas. The first is specialised IP/IC solutions including customisable standard and I/O libraries. Secondly we use our experience to support customers who want to generate their own IP/IC, based on our platforms and libraries, but tailored to provide them a value-added market differentiation, leveraging our expertise and silicon experience.”

The analog/mixed-signal platforms and libraries available include application specific customisable IP/IC solutions for 0.5µm to 90µm CMOS processes, targeted for consumer, medical, automotive, and communications applications, including digital and I/O libraries for ultra-low power, super-high speed and specialized applications; and slew-rate selectable/auto-programmable and multi-voltage auto-sensing I/O libraries. There is also a direct bump access (DBA) and redistribution layer (RDL) I/O libraries for flip-chip packaging.

The engineering team outsourcing model assumes availability to the customer of a cost effective and highly qualified experienced group with expertise in analog, mixed-signal, and digital IP/IC designs targeted to perform specific design tasks per customer requirements with a complete support infrastructure, including hardware and EDA software, for IP/IC design, verification, testing/characterization and validation and access to the proven LEDA Design IP catalogue and IP/IC solutions. Resulting engineering test or production silicon can be verified and characterized in the test lab located on the premises and supported by experienced test and qualification group.

LEDA Design has design centre in Yerevan, Armenia. Corporate and sales offices are in Plano, Texas, and Los Altos, California. The European sales offices are in Stockholm, Sweden, and London, United Kingdom.
