January 4, 2012 -- EnSilica, Ltd. has opened a new design center in Bangalore, India to complement its existing design facilities in the UK. The new design center will be a center of excellence for the advanced verification of complex semiconductor products and IP. Verification services will be provided for both European and local customers based on a range of methodologies but with a particular focus on UVM (the Unified Verification Methodology) and SystemVerilog.

The new design center will also provide a scalable resource for projects requiring larger teams to accelerate timescales or deal with complex tasks as well as broaden EnSilica's design capabilities with the addition of new Verilog AMS (analog/ mixed-signal) modeling, physical-implementation and embedded software services. The new design center will also further extend EnSilica's existing turnkey ASIC and FPGA design capabilities with additional resources for developing EnSilica's own portfolio of IP including its eSi-RISC highly configurable 16/32-bit embedded processors, eSi-Comms range of communications IP and eSi-Crypto encryption IP.
