3G Standard Chipset Using Jeda Technologies Verification Tool Set

9th December, 2004

ASIA : Jeda Technologies is proud to share the news of the successful launch of Spreadtrum Communications' multi-mode TD-CDMA/GSM/GPRS chipset solution SC8800 for mobile terminal markets. Spreadtrum SC8800 is the world's first single baseband solution that supports all TD-SCDMA, GSM, and GPRS cellular standards. The digital part of the mixed signal chip has been verified using JedaX, the object oriented testbench automation tool developed by Jeda Technologies.

"Jeda Technologies is not just an EDA tool provider, it has the verification expertise and understands what chip design companies are trying to do," said Eugene Zhang, President/CEO of Jeda Technologies. "This was one of the big factors that Spreadtrum chose to work with us."

"It's imperative to be cost efficient in a company's R&D effort during economic down turns. Using JedaX, the object oriented testbench automation tool, has helped us to reduce our design cycle by months, and subsequently resulted in major savings in development cost and time. JedaX is the tool that provides verification for our digital ASIC designs; it has contributed to the success that our first silicon is completely functional. Being the first one to introduce multi-mode GSM/GPRS/TD-SCDMA in the market has established our leadership in the TD-SCDMA baseband arena," said Jin Ji, VP of SoC design at Spreadtrum.

SC8800 is the world's first TD-SCDMA multi-mode chip that provides all the analog, digital and power management functions necessary for baseband processing on a single chip, using state of the art 0.18 micron CMOS technology. Spreadtrum provides a complete baseband processing solution for customers with compact implementation, low power consumption and numerous other features, all at an affordable price.
