Denali Releases ONFi 2.0 Memory Controller and Verification Suites

FlashPoint Platform Supports ONFi 2.0 NAND Flash Technology for PCIe-based
Memory Systems

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Denali, Inc., a world-leading
provider of electronic design automation (EDA) software and intellectual
property (IP), today announced that its Databahn(TM) memory controller IP and
MMAV(TM) simulation models for design and verification, now include
comprehensive support for Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFi) 2.0 device
technology. Denali's FlashPoint(TM) product, an end-to-end chip design
platform for implementing memory sub-systems, also supports ONFi 2.0 device
technology for PCI Express (PCIe) based Cache, and SSD applications.
"We are very pleased to announce support for the ONFi 2.0 device
technology with memory controller designs and high-quality simulation models,"
states Kevin Silver, vice president of Business Development at Denali
Software.
"Early availability of device models and memory controller products is
consistent with our goal to speed the adoption of new memory technologies, and
ultimately enable more efficient and high-performance memory subsystem design.
The Flashpoint platform is a good example of how Denali's taking this value
proposition one step further by providing customers with a complete chip
design, an end-to-end solution for PCIe-based flash memory systems, and as in
this case, leverages all the features and functionality of ONFi 2.0 devices."
"We are very pleased with the success of moving the ONFi 2.0 NAND Flash
specification towards industry-wide support," said Amber Huffman, Principal
Engineer, Storage Technologies Group at Intel, and Technical Architect within
the ONFi working group. "Enabling technologies, such as Denali's commercial
design and verification products, help to speed industry adoption of ONFi 2.0
devices in next-generation NAND Flash-based end applications."
