ATI Technologies Selects NeoCircuit for Automated Analog and RF Circuit Sizing - ATI Deploys Neolinear's NeoCircuit to Advance Analog and RF Design Flow.Business Editors PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2003 Neolinear, Inc. today announced that ATI Technologies, Inc. has chosen NeoCircuit(R) for advanced analog and RF circuit sizing. "ATI (ATI Technologies Inc., Markham Ontario, http://ati.amd.com) A leading manufacturer of graphics chips and display adapters. Founded in 1985 by K. Y. Ho, Benny Lau and Lee Lau, ATI chips and boards are widely used by OEMs. is an established world leader in the design and manufacture of innovative 3D graphics solutions for a wide range of products including desktops, laptops, video game consoles This is a list of video game consoles by the era they appeared in. Eras are named based on the dominant console type of the era (even though not all consoles of those eras are of the same type). Some eras are referred to based on how many bits a major console could process. , handheld devices and integrated solutions. We task our analog team with supplying mixed signal applications for all product lines, making reuse critical to our success," stated ATI Technologies Vice President, Hardware Engineering Raymond Li. "Our evaluation of NeoCircuit demonstrates that this innovative tool provides design reuse and re-targeting capabilities that did not exist in our analog and RF design flow. We look forward to working with Neolinear to deploy NeoCircuit throughout our organization." NeoCircuit, used in a complete design flow, automatically sizes advanced analog, custom mixed-signal or RF circuit topologies to a set of specifications using the customer's foundry of choice and simulation environment. Analog, mixed-signal and RF designers realize a 5-10x productivity improvement through NeoCircuit's adaptive analog circuit design capabilities. By capturing the design intent in the form of constraints, NeoCircuit enables IP creation of re-usable mixed-signal and RF system architectures. NeoCircuit is quickly becoming a critical component of any mixed-signal solution provider's design methodology. "We are pleased to welcome ATI Technologies, Inc. to our growing family of customers and look forward to the opportunity to partner closely on enhancing their design flow," said Neolinear's 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. , Tom Beckley. "Our customers are leveraging Neolinear's technologies to meet the many design challenges created by explosive growth in the analog and mixed-signal markets." About ATI Technologies Inc.
