| San Jose, Calif., April 22, 2002 - LogicVision, Inc.,
(NASDAQ:LGVN), a leading provider of embedded test IP for integrated circuits and systems,
today launched a broad partnership with Dolphin Technology, Inc., a provider of
performance-optimized SoC memory cores and performance-matched standard cell libraries and
Input/Outputs (IOs). The partnership between Dolphin and LogicVision will enable
tighter integration of memory and logic library SoC design elements with embedded test SoC
design techniques. LogicVision and Dolphin are planning for an integrated, self-test and
repairable memory capability for Dolphin's high-performance memory offerings. As part of
the agreement, Dolphin's performance memory cores and standard cell libraries will become
the standard design elements in LogicVision's IP training and tutorial material.
"By launching this partnership with LogicVision, we're able to provide a
comprehensive performance solution to our customers," said Mo Tamjidi, president of
Dolphin. "Our customers deploy Dolphin's performance products in designs which
require reliability. With LogicVision, we can deliver further on those requirements."
"Our partnership with Dolphin represents a major step toward fully integrated
memory cores and library SoC design elements with embedded test," noted Mukesh Mowji,
vice president of marketing at LogicVision. "As a result of this collaboration, we
expect to offer our mutual customers the opportunity to acquire performance-optimized,
high-quality design elements for very dense, highly complex SoC designs. We look forward
to the growth of this partnership and the benefits that it will bring to our
customers."
