Overview Inventra TM, a Mentor Graphics business unit, offers an extensive list of synthesizable standard component, communications, multimedia, telecom, DSP, and computer connectivity cores to meet current and emerging design methodologies such as block-based design. Inventra also offers physical libraries and design services to enable designers to meet the challenges of increased design complexity and faster time-to-market. All Inventra products support EDA Tool, foundry and derivative design independence thereby offering the maximum degree of flexibility without the time and expense of internal development. The computer connectivity cores and products (Universal Serial Bus, PCI, Simulation Models, and Evaluation Board) are available as a result of the acquisition of CAE Technology in November 1996. Inventra's Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a full hardware/software solution that is comprised of: Synthesizable Logic Blocks (Verilog & VHDL) Simulation Models Evaluation Board Virtual Simulation Framework (VSF) The VSF is a hardware / software co-design solution. It provides a seamless link between the software and hardware teams during the ASIC and system design phases. AllianceCORE Products to view the PDF files below.
