India, May 20 -- Siemens Digital Industries Software has entered into an agreement to acquire Excellicon.

This will bring Excellicon's best-in-class software for the development, verification, and management of timing constraints to Siemens' EDA portfolio of software for IC design.

The planned acquisition enables Siemens to deliver an innovative approach to both implementation and verification flows -enabling System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designers to improve power, performance and area (PPA), accelerate design closure, enhance functional and structural constraint correctness, improve productivity and address key gaps in the current workflows.

The SoC design landscape is rapidly evolving, driven in part by growing design complexity. Timing c...
