Spinner 1.3 Product Release Announcement

Automate Your I/O Fabric and Eliminate SoC I/O Bugs

Duolog is proud to announce the latest release of our award-winning Spinner I/O fabric generation tool. Spinner forms part of Duolog’s Socrates SoC Integration Platform and is the only fully integrated I/O solution on the market. Spinner received a “Best of DAC” award at the 2008 Design Automation Conference in Los Angeles..

Duolog customers have seen a 20x reduction in effort and a 20% reduction in schedule when using Spinner. They have also reported that I/O implementation bugs have been eliminated and the I/O fabric is no longer on their critical paths.

"Spinner has fully automated the creation and management of the I/O layers and has greatly enhanced the quality and timeliness of our deliverables"
Ziad Mansour, OMAP Program Manager, Texas Instruments.

As design size and complexity increases, the definition and integration of the I/O layer has become increasingly difficult, time-consuming and error-prone. This task now stalks the critical path of many chip designs. Spinner offers a fully automated solution for this increasingly problematic process:

• Import VHDL/Verilog/IP-XACT
• Capture via Eclipse GUI
• Functional & test path definition
• BSCAN, DFT and I/O Cell control logic
• Full DRC for quality assurance
• I/O fabric synthesis
• Export VHDL/Verilog/IP-XACT
• Generate documentation & HW/SW/Verification code
• Open framework for customising generators.
