Committed to design quality closure with fast return on investment (ROI), Satin IP Technologies SAS delivers software solutions for fact-based design quality monitoring. The company was founded in 2006 by electronic design automation (EDA) professionals with decades of experience in the development and sale of implementation and verification IP. Satin IP Technologies is a privately held company with offices in Montpellier, France. Satin IP Technologies develops and licenses VIP Lane, an innovative design quality closure software solution that allows semiconductor companies to deploy best design practices (standard or proprietary) via the intranet, for facilitated IP quality monitoring, at zero overheads for the design teams. At Satin IP Technologies, it thinks that design quality results from a number of engineering practices throughout the block or chip life cycle, and requires careful daily management rather than subjective scoring a posteriori. The firm also believes that large semiconductor companies, as well as IP design startups, cannot satisfy its need for a robust design-for-reuse strategy only by making large investments in EDA and product lifecycle management (PLM) tools. In most cases, these companies have defined best design-for-reuse practices internally and want to see those practices adopted by as many other design teams as possible. Such adoption helps the developers of those practices avoid additional costs in design productivity, but does not necessarily help an external adopter of the practices. Similarly, other companies seem to have an ulterior motive in that they have developed scores of IP blocks over the years ('legacy IP') that it wants to qualify for reuse without significant overheads in its own engineering costs. With VIP Lane and associated qualification services, the company can make 'design for reuse' and 'design quality closure' easier and more productive activities for IP and SoC designers.
