Saros Technology

Averant, Inc. is a startup electronic design automation (EDA) company specializing in verification technology for integrated circuits (ICs) and digital intellectual property (IP). Founded in 1997 and based in Hayward, California, the company addresses the challenges posed by increasing design complexity, which can lead to significant errors if not verified before production. Averant's key products include Solidify, a static functional verification engine that offers vectorless verification and code coverage; SolidAC, which detects common design issues; SolidPC, an automatic verifier for AMBA protocol compliance; and SolidTC, which ensures the accuracy of timing constraints. These solutions enable companies in various sectors, including internet networking, telecommunications, and consumer electronics, to ensure the functional correctness of their designs, thereby mitigating risks associated with post-production errors. Averant sells its products directly in the United States and through distributors in Europe and Asia. The company was formerly known as HDAC, Inc. before rebranding in May 2000.
