Welcome to a changing
CAST!
Because you've expressed interest in CAST before, you’re reading
the first issue of our new vehicle for getting news and tips on
cores to you faster. We hope you like it, and that you’ll tell
us how to make it better for you.
This newsletter is just one of many changes for CAST. With eight
straight years of IP revenue growth, we’ve just improved our
Web site to better
reflect our position as a senior, trusted, successful IP provider
who’ll be around when you need us. We’ve also develop
a new logo and graphics design for all our communications. Try the
new site, visit us at DAC and other shows, and let us know what
you think.

News at DATE:
80186 processor core now available
We introduced another new processor core at the Design, Automation
& Test in Europe conference in Paris last month: the C80186TX.
Software-compatible with the popular 80C186 but running up to six
times faster, it’s an excellent choice for many embedded processor
applications. Loaded with integrated peripherals and flexible features,
you’ll find it quick and easy to integrate with new systems.
It also makes an affordable and straightforward plug-in replacement
for older parts you can’t buy any more.

Headquartered in Bielsko-Biala, Evatronix
is one of the leaders in the high-tech renaissance spreading through
Poland. A large engineering office in Gliwice and close ties to
the technical university there, fuel the company’s efforts
in IP development and advanced design services.
We count on Evatronix for their unmatched expertise in designing
processors and standards-based buses and interfaces. Their experience
makes our products better and easier to use, and their support is
immediately available when technical challenges do arise.
Their tag line is “We turn engineering into art.”
They’re also literal artists; be sure to check out the gallery
on their web site.

FAQ:
What deliverables come with a CAST core?
Our goal is to give you everything you need to understand, integrate,
and test CAST products.
To supplement industry specifications and standards documents,
we provide a detailed technical usage guide covering every aspect
of the core, and our Verilog or VHDL source code products are extensively
commented. We also provide a rigorous testbench, and sets of input
test vectors and expected outputs so that you can verify the correctness
of our cores yourself.
Every core also includes relevant scripts for getting the best
results for synthesis and simulation, and several also include extras
such as application-related tests or additional documentation.
