Board of Directors Includes Industry Veterans.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 27, 2003 Today, 0-In Design Automation, the Assertion-Based Verification Company, announced the creation of a wholly-owned subsidiary in Japan. 0-In Design Automation K. K. is a full-service subsidiary providing Japanese customers with pre-sales support, post-sales support and selected verification methodology consulting services. Rapid adoption of assertion-based verification (ABV ABV Above ABV Alcohol By Volume ABV Abuja, Nigeria (airport code) ABV Assault Breacher Vehicle ABV Accredited Business Valuation specialist ABV Auxiliary Building Ventilation ABV Annual Buy Value ABV Air Bleed Valve ) in Japan 0-In Design Automation K. K. has been established to provide direct sales and support capabilities for one of the fastest-growing regions for ABV tools and methodologies. "The Japanese market has always been very important for 0-In," said 0-In Vice President of Sales Rick Hyman, "and recently we have seen an accelerated rate of adoption for ABV and formal verification
In the context of hardware and software systems, formal verification . We believe that having 0-In employees in Japan will enable our customers to be more successful with our products and to achieve their aggressive design goals." Current announced 0-In customers in Japan include Fujitsu, Hitachi, Matsushita, Ricoh and Zuken. "Many Japanese leading-edge companies are seriously looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. a comprehensive solution to the ever-growing complex verification problem that dominates their product development time. 0-In's ABV and formal verification solution is very timely to meet these requirements," said Seyul Choe, 0-In Vice President of Asia-Pacific Operations. Experienced Board of Directors to guide new venture 0-In Design Automation K.

See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. devices," commented Mr. Hirano. "Functional verification Functional verification, in electronic design automation, is the task of verifying that the logic design conforms to specification. In everyday terms, functional verification attempts to answer the question "Does this proposed design do what is intended?" This is a complex task, consumes 70% of the development cycle for these designs and 0-In's products are a breakthrough in bringing the power of formal verification to a simulation-based methodology." "Assertion-based verification is the next step in functional verification methods," said Dr. Ohno. "0-In's formal verification products are the most effective technology for eliminating bugs in complex system LSI designs." Japan team accomplishing wider deployment of 0-In products The initial employees of 0-In Design Automation K. K. include several salespeople and applications engineers already well experienced with 0-In products. "We are very fortunate that our Japanese team has such deep knowledge of 0-In," said Dr. Girczyc.

About 0-In 0-In Design Automation, Inc. (pronounced "zero-in") develops and supports functional verification products that help verify multi-million gate application-specific integrated circuit (hardware) Application-Specific Integrated Circuit - (ASIC) An integrated circuit designed to perform a particular function by defining the interconnection of a set of basic circuit building blocks drawn from a library provided by the circuit manufacturer. (ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. ) and system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The company delivers a comprehensive assertion-based verification (ABV) solution that provides value throughout the design and verification cycle -- from the block level to the chip and system level. Twelve of the 15 largest electronics companies have adopted 0-In tools and methodologies in their integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC) design verification flows. 0-In was founded in 1996 and is based in San Jose San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.
