Micro Magic, Inc. Announces Major Sale of EDA Software to SiByte, Inc.
Sunnyvale, CA - June 8, 1999 - Micro Magic, Inc. (MMI) today announced that SiByte, Inc. has purchased its software products for IC design. Micro Magic, Inc. provides electronic design automation (EDA) software and services for the high-speed digital design of integrated circuits (ICs). Start-up SiByte, Inc. provides microprocessor solutions to the communications and consumer electronics markets.
SiByte purchased multiple copies of MMI's Schematic User Environment (SUE™) for graphical design entry and design environment management; DataPath™ compiler, MMI's datapath design tool set, and MAX™, the company's high-speed, full-custom IC layout product.
"We are very impressed with the product set from Micro Magic," stated Dan Dobberpuhl, President of SiByte, Inc. "The software delivers excellent performance, and provides the features and flexibility that let us control the entire design flow. It is evident that the MMI developers have an excellent understanding of what is required of design tools for deep sub-micron, high-performance applications."
Dobberpuhl is the father of the DEC Alpha™ chip, and played a leading role in the design of the StrongARM™ chip. MMI's president, Mark Santoro, stated, "It is a powerful affirmation for someone of Dan Dobberpuhl's stature and experience to adopt our technology for designing SiByte's products. It represents the strongest level of trust there is for an EDA company."

Engineers from Micro Magic meet with your engineers and management, to discuss the best solution to the problem or problems in the chip design. Some issues are smaller, and more easily remedied; some are larger and will require more involvement. Micro Magic's intention is to provide the most efficient solution utilizing your current design flow and our development tools. Our engineers can either do the work off-site, in house, or provide the MMI tool(s) and advice for a plug-n-play augmentation to your existing flow.
Trying to achieve the performance we needed from commercially-available tools just wasn't working. Over the course of several years, Micro Magic's engineers wound up writing their own tools to help get chips out. Our design services history is unmatched for making tapeout on time. Of course, our clients began to notice that MMI engineers were more efficient, more productive, and started asking about the tools. We responded by making them available to other engineers,and in 1995 the first versions of MAX and SUE were ready for the public..
