ALAMEDA, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 2, 2014) - Verific Design Automation today announced Menta® selected its industry-standard, IEEE-compliant SystemVerilog and VHDL parsers to serve as the front end to Menta Origami Designer^™ used to create embedded FPGAs (eFPGAs) for system-on-chip (SoC) designs.

"Menta brings a unique approach to embedded FPGA architectures, and follows in the footsteps of the entire FPGA industry by selecting Verific as its front end," says Michiel Ligthart, Verific's president and chief operating officer. "We take great pleasure in supporting Menta's forward-thinking approach."

Menta Origami Designer automates the design and implementation of Menta's flexible and custom eFPGA intellectual property (IP), defining, analyzing and validating the target capacity, performance, interconnect density and programming for the target device.

"As an innovative company, Menta needs to carefully select its partners and suppliers," comments Laurent Rougé, Menta's founder and chief executive officer. "Verific has proven to be the best EDA partner and supplier any company can hope to work with, offering first-rate technology and outstanding support."

Verific's software is the front end to electronic design automation (EDA) and FPGA tools for analysis, simulation, verification, synthesis, emulation and test of register transfer level (RTL) designs. Its Parser Platform includes support for SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL and UPF, and provides C++ and Perl APIs. Verific's software is distributed as C++ source code and compiles on all 32- and 64-bit Unix, Linux and Windows operating systems.
