2 days, 2 deals: Siemens to acquire Defacto Technologies

Siemens just announced that it will acquire Defacto Technologies for its “register-transfer level (RTL) design field focused on automated SoC design creation and integration.” Siemens says the acquisition “further expands Siemens’ EDA portfolio with capabilities that help customers manage growing [system-on-a-chip] SoC complexity through automated SoC design creation, earlier implementation assessment and integrated verification.”

Siemens’ Ankur Gupta, EVP, IC Portfolio, Siemens EDA, said in the press release, “With Defacto Technologies, we strengthen our ability to help customers automate SoC design creation and establish trusted design flows earlier in the development cycle. By extending end-to-end continuity across the SoC design lifecycle, we help semiconductor teams manage complexity, improve productivity and make informed design decisions earlier, supporting faster innovation and higher-quality outcomes.”

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

I am so not an EDA person, so I will direct you to DeFacto’s website for more information. According to the site’s front page, this deal is complete, but there may still be regulatory tasks to complete.
