Anam Semiconductor and Technology to Distribute Summit's SLDA and Test Products in Korea.BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 1994--Summit Design Inc. today announced that it has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Anam Semiconductor and Technology of Seoul, Korea, to market and sell its line of products in the Korean market place. Anam will distribute Summit's Visual HDL (Hardware Description Language) A language used to describe the functions of an electronic circuit for documentation, simulation or logic synthesis (or all three). Although many proprietary HDLs have been developed, Verilog and VHDL are the major standards. (TM) tool for graphical system specification, Insight HDL(TM) for object oriented See object technology and object-oriented programming. language editing and TDS TDS total dissolved solids. for production test development. The products are used by designers of electronic systems and 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. (ICs) to automate the process of high level design and production test. "We are very excited to have Anam distributing our products in Korea," said Kuo Wu, director of Asia Pacific operations at Summit. "Anam is Korea's largest IC design and packaging house and its most successful distributor of electronic design automation (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. ) tools. Anam's many years of experience as a design automation user and reseller make it a highly qualified technical representative for our products. The company will provide customers with significant value-added service A value-added service (VAS) is a telecommunications industry term for non-core services or, in short, all services beyond standard voice calls and fax transmissions. to accompany our system level design automation (SLDA) and test tools." "Summit has innovative SLDA and test products that complement and strengthen our line of IC design tools," said Stephen Kim, president of Anam. Customers are looking to us to help them increase their efficiency in developing complex chips. Summit's SLDA tools provide a more productive environment for implementing, managing and adopting top-down design methodologies. Its test tools streamline the IC production test cycle for faster time-to-market." Anam's businesses include IC design and packaging and it operates a large design center in Korea where it employs more than 150 people involved in 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. design services and sales of electronic design automation tools. Anam is located at Anam Building, 3rd Floor, 154-17, Samsung-dong, Kangnam-ku, Seoul, Korea, 82 2-553-2106. Summit Design Inc. is a leading, international supplier of engineering software products for the creation of electronic systems and integrated circuits (ICs) using top-down design methodologies. The company develops, manufactures and markets tools and technology for VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) A hardware description language (HDL) used to design electronic systems at the component, board and system level. VHDL allows models to be developed at a very high level of abstraction. design entry, high-level circuit timing specification, VHDL design management, design verification and test program generation. The world's top electronics companies use Summit products to increase engineering productivity, reduce development time and improve the quality of their products. Summit is located at 9305 S.W. Gemini Drive, Beaverton, Ore., 97005, 503/643-9281. -0- NOTE: Visual HDL and Insight HDL are trademarks of Summit. CONTACT: Summit Design Inc., Beaverton
