Business/Technology Editors SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 11, 2001 Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) and Protel International Limited announced today they have entered into a strategic partnership to make Protel's full featured Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools accessible to Atmel's Programmable Logic Device customers. Under an agreement signed last week, Atmel will begin distributing ProChip Designer(TM), a full featured EDA suite incorporating design tools provided by Protel that together with Atmel's proprietary user interface/design navigator and device specific fitter software will support all Atmel's Simple and Complex Programmable Logic Device (SPLD and CPLD) products. 'We are very excited about this new partnership with Protel,' said Jim Fahey, Atmel's EPLD Product Marketing Director. 'The broad range of Protel products, combined with their key acquisitions in synthesis and simulation technology, serve perfectly as the core for the Atmel second-generation EDA for our PLDs. The new Protel-based Atmel ProChip Designer suite, complemented by second generation fitter technology, allows the Atmel enhanced CPLD architecture to provide designers with unprecedented CPLD utilization and flexibility with all members of the first generation and emerging second generation ATF15xx families.'

Atmel offers a low-cost development kit for the designer who wishes to begin working. Panasonic Pbx Unified Maintenance Console Keygen Torrent on this page. Design software or a 30-day free trial version of Atmel-ProChip Designer.

'Integrating Protel's technology into Atmel's products creates a powerful design platform for programmable logic users, and positions Protel and Atmel for the next wave of advanced design methods,' said Nick Martin, Protel's Founder and Executive Director. 'This partnership allows Atmel to provide its customers with a complete solution based on Protel's advanced design entry tools, and gives Protel access to Atmel's large and diverse base of customers.' The companies are planning to enhance the capabilities of the Protel design tools, as well as to expand support to other Atmel programmable product lines, including Atmel's Field Programmable System Level IC (FPSLIC) products. ProChip Designer will be distributed via download from the Atmel website at www.Atmel.com as well as on CDROM. Cost of the fully featured ProChip Designer is $995 with no further annual maintenance cost and has no time lock. PLD designers using Atmel products will be able to register for a free 30 day trial and click through for a download on the same visit. A permanent no-cost version will be made available through authorized Atmel Sales representatives, for fully qualified PLD design projects.
