The new design centre will also add new Verilog AMS (analog/mixed-signal) modelling, physical implementation and embedded software services.
EnSilica provides Asic and FPGA design capabilities and ity has its own portfolio of IP including its eSi-RISC highly configurable 16/32 bit embedded processors, eSi-Comms range of communications IP and eSi-Crypto encryption IP.
The Bangalore design centre will be headed by Ranganath Kempanahally as Director of Engineering.
