Atlanta, GA -July 10,2007- Intercept Technology, Inc., a leader in advanced PCB/Hybrid/RF electrical   engineering applications, and SiSoft, a leading provider of integrated signal   integrity and timing solutions for high-speed digital system design, today   announced that they have entered into a partnership to integrate Intercept   Technology's printed circuit board (PCB) layout software, Pantheon, with   SiSoft’s Quantum-SI™ product family, which allows users to rapidly determine   interface operating margins and achieve High-Speed Timing ClosureTM. The   integration of Pantheon and Quantum-SI provides a powerful tool set for advanced   signal integrity analysis coupled with Pantheon’s high performance printed   circuit board layout, ultimately boosting design integrity and time to market   for all high-speed designs.
 

"We are pleased to work with SiSoft to offer this powerful high-speed solution to our users," said Dave Hoyt, National Sales Manager for Intercept. "We have several customers currently evaluating this new user flow, and it has been met with great enthusiasm thus far. Through our partnership, Intercept and SiSoft raise the bar for the growing needs of the EDA industry."

"We think Intercept and SiSoft are a natural combination for high-speed design," said Todd Westerhoff, SiSoft's Vice President of Software Products. "Intercept's customers are already pushing past the boundaries of what can be accomplished with conventional CAD tools, and this partnership extends those boundaries even farther. The combination of Pantheon and Quantum-SI will make effective high-speed design accessible to a broad range of users."
