Open-Silicon Adopts LogicVision Technology to Maximize Test Quality and Improve Yield

Embedded technology enables Open-Silicon to lower cost and accelerate time to market for customer designs

San Jose, Calif. - Feb. 14, 2005: LogicVision, Inc., (NASDAQ:LGVN), a leading provider of yield learning solutions for integrated circuits and systems, and Open-Silicon, Inc., a fabless ASIC company that provides a predictable, reliable and cost-effective alternative to traditional chip design and supply-chain models, today announced the adoption of LogicVision's embedded memory-test and repair-analysis technology as part of the standard tool flow in Open-Silicon ASIC designs.

LogicVision's comprehensive embedded memory-test and repair-analysis solution not only supports the most advanced test and repair algorithms, but also enables leading-edge automation for fast and seamless generation and integration of embedded-test capabilities into the design. Additionally, LogicVision intends to collaborate with Open-Silicon to add automatic memory repair to Open-Silicon's tool flow.

The integration of LogicVision's technology into its ASIC design methodology will help Open-Silicon provide the highest quality silicon to its customers in the shortest amount of time. LogicVision's solution is also expected to help minimize manufacturing costs by maximizing embedded-memory yields.

"Through our OpenMODEL, we seek to bring the best of all design methodologies to the table," said Satya Gupta, vice president of engineering for Open-Silicon. "LogicVision's solutions will ensure that our customers reap benefits in both cost savings and time to market.";

We are very pleased to partner with Open-Silicon and provide them with our advanced on-chip test and yield learning solutions," said Jim Healy, president and CEO of LogicVision. "Our technology is designed to efficiently and economically fully test Open-Silicon's ASIC designs at-speed and uncover those illusive un-modeled faults that are often the cause of low yields and customer field returns."
