Apache's RedHawk Power Integrity Solution Adopted by AppliedMicro for their SoC and Mixed-Signal Designs.SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Apache Design Solutions, the technology leader in power and noise integrity for chip, package, and system convergence, today announced that AppliedMicro (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : AMCC AMCC Applied Micro Circuits Corporation AMCC Air Mobility Control Center AMCC Ashore Mobile Contingency Communications AMCC Advanced Materials Commercialization Center AMCC allied movement coordination center (US DoD) ), a global leader in energy conscious computing and communications solutions for Datacenter, Telecom, Enterprise and Consumer Applications, has adopted Apache's RedHawk, a full-chip dynamic power integrity solution, for accurate power analysis, sign-off, and optimization of their system-on-chip (SoC) and mixed-signal designs. AppliedMicro selected RedHawk based on its product maturity and the capacity to handle designs used in their multi-core products for global wide area network (WAN) and storage area network (SAN) applications. AppliedMicro's adoption is also based on Apache's roadmap and track record for SoC power and noise integrity. "In the competitive consumer market, balancing the cost and design risk allows us to gain market share," said Michael Raam, vice president of engineering at AppliedMicro. "RedHawk offers us the accuracy and capacity needed to analyze our complex SoC designs from early prototyping to signoff. In addition, Apache's broad product offering in power and noise integrity from SoC to mixed-signal IPs and high-speed I/Os make them a good technology partner as we aggressively move into post sub-micron designs." "We are very pleased to have AppliedMicro place their confidence in our advanced low-power solutions," said Andrew Yang, 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 Apache. "With over 100 customers worldwide, the growing adoption of our solutions demonstrates Apache's continuing execution in delivering the best-in-class power and noise integrity products." About RedHawk RedHawk is a full-chip Vectorless Dynamic[TM] power sign-off solution for high-performance SoC designs, including those utilizing advanced low power design techniques. Certified by TSMC TSMC Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd TSMC Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation TSMC Traffic Systems Management Center TSMC Toll Station Management Controller TSMC Transportation Supply Maintenance Command TSMC Technical Services Manager Code and Common Platform Reference Flows and correlated with silicon measurements and SPICE, RedHawk delivers the industry's first mesh pattern recognition technology (MPR (MultiProtocol Router) Software from Novell that provides router capabilities for its NetWare servers. It supports IPX, IP, AppleTalk and OSI protocols as well as all the major LANs and WANs. ) and hierarchical dynamic power engine to handle designs in the excess of 500 million gates with sign-off accuracy. RedHawk enables designers to identify dynamic "hot spots," examine its impact on timing, accurately pinpoint the cause of dynamic voltage drop, and automatically repair the source of supply noise. It considers dynamic power issues such as simultaneous switching output (SSO See single sign-on and CSO. SSO - single sign-on ) for core, memory, clock, and I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output , as well as the impact of on-chip inductance, decoupling Decoupling The occurrence of returns on asset classes diverging from their normal pattern of correlation. Notes: Take for example stock and corporate bond returns, which normally rise and fall together. capacitance, and package / system parasitics.
