Tektronix acquires fpga prototyping firm

Founded in 2009 to commercialise research from the University of British Columbia, Veridae offers three products for asic/fpga prototyping debug, asic post silicon validation and fpga based system product validation. The Canadian company claims its products are the first to deliver a systematic 'design for validation' approach, as well as a synchronised view of multi device systems both on and off chip, across devices and timing domains. "Veridae is solving an ever increasing challenge faced by our customers – debug and validation of their complex systems," said, Amir Aghdaei, president of Tektronix. "The combination of Veridae and Tektronix solutions will provide significant cost saving to our customers while accelerating their time to market." Tektronix said it would establish Veridae as an embedded capture business unit, remaining in Vancouver.
