Siemens has announced an agreement to acquire Excellicon, a company known for its software that aids in the development, verification, and management of timing constraints. This acquisition aims to enhance Siemens' electronic design automation (EDA) software portfolio for integrated circuit (IC) design.
Himanshu Bhatnagar, CEO of Excellicon, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition: "We are delighted to join Siemens and bring our knowledge and expertise in timing constraints management to the wider Siemens EDA community." He added that this collaboration would allow them to "provide better process coverage and enable our customers to deliver robust innovation to market more quickly and overcome the ever-growing complexity challenges facing the IC industry."
Excellicon was founded in 2009 in Laguna Hills, USA. The company's tools focus on timing constraints used within digital design and verification workflows. While the terms of the acquisition remain undisclosed, it is expected to be finalized within a few weeks.
