Curtis Widdoes Becomes CTO and Chairman of the Board of Directors.Business Editors 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.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 7, 2002 Today, 0-In Design Automation, Inc., The Assertion-Based Verification Company, announced the promotion of Dr. Emil Girczyc to president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . 0-In co-founder and former CEO Dr. L. Curtis Widdoes has been named chief technology officer and remains chairman of the board of directors. 0-In is a pioneer and the leader in assertion-based verification for integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. and electronic systems on a chip. Assertions document designer intent and enable efficient 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, of electronic designs. Semiconductor companies and analysts estimate that verification consumes between 50 and 70 percent of the time it takes to develop a chip. "Assertion-based verification applies both simulation and formal verification technologies to more effectively validate IC design behavior," said Dr. Widdoes. "The technology is in a stage of rapid advancement and 0-In is constantly enhancing its products to leverage new technology developments. I'm thrilled to transition into the CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. role where I can focus on keeping our core technology on the leading edge and incorporating these advances into our existing and future products." "We're very fortunate to have Emil take over as president and CEO," Dr. Widdoes added. "He was one of the core team responsible for architecting the strategy by which Synopsys came to dominate synthesis in the early 1990s. He is a brilliant EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. technologist, strategist and marketer." "Assertion-based verification is now recognized by many companies as essential for efficient and effective functional verification of complex ICs," commented Dr. Girczyc. "0-In has significant experience in making our assertion-based verification products work in production verification flows. I am excited to be leading 0-In as our products make the transition from early adopters to mainstream design groups." Dr. Girczyc served as executive vice president of products for 0-In prior to his promotion to president and CEO. His previous EDA experience includes Cadabra Design Technology, where he was vice president of marketing; Synopsys, where he was most recently general manager and vice president of the design verification business unit; Audesyn, Inc. and Bell Northern Research (now Nortel Networks). Dr. Girczyc holds a B.Sc.E.E. from the University of Alberta as well as M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees from Carleton University in Ottawa. 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. Five of the six largest electronics companies have adopted 0-In tools and methodologies in their integrated circuit (IC) design verification flows. 0-In was founded in 1996 and is based in San Jose, Calif.
