Anadigmvortex Named Finalist for EDN 2002 Innovation of the Year Awards.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2003 Anadigm(R) today announced that Anadigmvortex, the company's latest-generation field programmable analog array (FPAA FPAA Field-Programmable Analog Array FPAA Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association FPAA Fairmount Park Art Association (Philadelphia, PA) FPAA Fresh Produce Association of the Americas FPAA Fire Protection Association of Australia ) product family, has been selected as a finalist for the EDN EDN Endothelin EDN Eosinophil-Derived Neurotoxin EDN European Documentary Network (Denmark) EDN Earth Day Network EDN Electrodesiccation EDN Electrical Design News (periodical) 2002 Innovation of the Year Awards competition in the category of analog ICs and discrete semiconductors. The exclusive awards program sponsored by EDN Magazine is dedicated to honoring outstanding engineering products in the electronics industry. "We're very pleased that our achievements in developing a new platform for analog design have been recognized by the industry's most prominent source of information and analysis for design engineering," said Bill McLean, 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. at Anadigm(R). "Over the past 13 years, EDN's awards program has honored a long line of distinguished products and technologies, and we're proud to be included among the leaders in the electronics industry considered for the 2002 award." Anadigm's(R) Anadigmvortex is the industry's first product family to enable the design and implementation of dynamically reconfigurable analog circuits -- a breakthrough capability that allows analog functions to be controlled as a peripheral in an embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. microcontroller-based system. Combining powerful new 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. software, configurable analog modules (CAMs), and advanced FPAAs, Anadigmvortex reduces the time required for analog design implementations from months to minutes. With Anadigm's(R) second-generation product family, users can design and implement circuits using the intuitive AnadigmDesigner(R)2 software. Time to solution is drastically reduced compared with an analog 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. or discrete implementation, and designers can update the circuit functionality in real time using automatically generated C-code. Dynamic reconfigurability enables real-time reload (1) To load a program from disk into memory once again in order to run it. Reload is entirely different than reinstall. Reinstall means that you have to run the install program from a CD-ROM or floppy disk and perform the installation procedure over again. of new device configurations, allowing the device operation to be "time-sliced." System integrity is also preserved through manipulation of the tuning or the construction of any part of the circuit without interrupting operation of the FPAA. A panel of EDN's technical editors selected finalists for the 2002 Innovation of the Year Awards in seventeen categories. Award-winners will be determined by EDN readers through an online ballot on the EDN Access Web site (www.edn.com), where reviewer comments for each product have been posted. The results of the ballot are to be announced To be announced (TBA) A contract for the purchase or sale of an MBS to be delivered at an agreed-upon future date but does not include a specified pool number and number of pools or precise amount to be delivered. at an awards ceremony on April 22 and published in the May 1 issue of EDN.

About Anadigm(R) Anadigm(R) combines the three most powerful design trends from the digital world (design automation, field programmable ICs, and real-time updating) into a platform for analog design, greatly reducing cost of ownership for analog signal An analog or analogue signal is any time continuous signal where some time varying feature of the signal is a representation of some other time varying quantity. It differs from a digital signal in that small fluctuations in the signal are meaningful. conditioning and processing functions across many market segments. Founded in January 2000 as a venture-backed technology spinoff from Motorola, the company maintains U.S. headquarters in Campbell, and European headquarters in Crewe, U.K. For further information, visit Anadigm(R) on the Web at www.anadigm.com.
