Knowlent Joins ARM Connected Community

Knowlent Corporation, a Silicon Valley-based Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and Intellectual Property (IP) start-up, has joined the ARM Connected Community.

As part of the ARM Connected Community, Knowlent will gain access to a range of resources to help it market analogue verification IP that expedites ARM Powered products to market.

Knowlent's Opal Electrical Verification Platforms (EVPs) comprehensively and automatically verify the PHY (physical) layer of PCI Express, Serial ATA or XAUI interfaces designs before tape-out to avoid post silicon surprises.

"We are pleased to become part of the ARM Connected Community Network," said Sandipan Bhanot, CEO of Knowlent Corporation. "ARM is one of the world's most respected IP companies, and we believe that by using the Opal platforms, designers will have an easier time integrating and validating their high-speed serial PHYs from ARM."

The ARM Connected Community is a global network of companies aligned to provide a complete solution, from design to manufacture and end use, for products based on the ARM architecture. ARM offers a variety of resources to Community members, including promotional programs and peer-networking opportunities that enable a variety of ARM Partners to come together to provide end-to-end customer solutions.
