“The verification and verification IP markets continue to undergo significant paradigm shifts,” said Joseph Sawicki, executive vice president of IC-EDA at Siemens Digital Industries Software. “The increasing complexity of SoCs, the demand for new protocols and standards, and the expanding use cases for verification IP present customers with new challenges related to verifying sophisticated, next-generation IC designs. The acquisition of Avery further extends Siemens’ leadership in the verification space, adding Avery’s impressive Verification Protocol and Compliance Test Suite offerings, its understanding and knowledge of the critical verification IP market, and its eminent R&D talent. This can enhance Siemens’ offering in key verification IP segments while expanding Siemens’ verification solutions in areas such as high-performance computing, edge computing, networking, and 3DIC.”

“Customers need a comprehensive portfolio of protocols for their applications and verification IP available as soon as standards are released, as well as compliance testing solutions that can help reduce risk and improve the correctness of their protocols,” said Chilai Huang, President and CEO of Avery Design Systems. “Avery’s offerings enable this, helping system design and SoC teams achieve dramatic improvements in functional verification productivity. Being part of Siemens also enables growth opportunities for the business, with the combination of Avery’s products and Siemens’ Questa verification IP offerings enabling continuous support for verification engineers across the entire spectrum of simulation solutions.”
