Apache Achieves Record Breaking Q2 Sales.MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Apache Design Solutions, the technology leader in physical power integrity solutions for system-on-chip (SoC) designs, today announced that the company has achieved another record breaking quarter, while remaining cash-flow positive. Q2 sales included the company's first multi-million dollar per year, multi-year deal from a major semiconductor company (see related release "ATI Technologies “ATI” redirects here. For other uses, see Ati. ATI Technologies U.L.C. ATI is a major Canadian designer and supplier of graphics processing units, motherboard chipsets, and video display cards. Inc. Signs a Multi-Million Dollar, Multi-Year Deal with Apache Design Solutions," dated June 10, 2005). Contribution to the record quarter came from renewals and expansions within the existing customer base, as well as from new customers including Apache's first Korean customer. Seven of the top 10 semiconductor companies worldwide have now adopted the RedHawk dynamic power signoff solution. In addition, Apache introduced and sold the first licenses of PsiWinder in Q2; PsiWinder is a new timing sign-off solution that concurrently analyzes the impact of both power and crosstalk noise on clock trees and critical paths. "The increasing adoption of Apache's multiple products by our customers demonstrates the need for a complete foundry-certified, silicon-correlated dynamic power integrity solution," stated Keith Mueller, vice president of worldwide sales for Apache. "RedHawk leads the dynamic power market with the experience of more than 140 production tapeouts, 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 Reference Flow 6.0 sign-off, and continuous sales growth over the last two years." About RedHawk RedHawk is a full-chip Vectorless Dynamic(TM) physical power integrity solution for SoC power closure sign-off of 130nm, 90nm, and 65nm designs. Certified by TSMC's 5.0 and 6.0 Reference Flow and correlated with silicon measurements and SPICE, RedHawk addresses 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 effects of on-chip inductance inductance, quantity that measures the electromagnetic induction of an electric circuit component; it is a property of the component itself rather than of the circuit as a whole. , package RLC RLC Residual lung capacity , and 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. RedHawk enables designers to identify dynamic "hot spots hot spots acute moist dermatitis. ," examine the impact on timing, accurately pinpoint the cause of dynamic voltage drop Noun 1. voltage drop - a decrease in voltage along a conductor through which current is flowing free fall, drop, dip, fall - a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity; "a drop of 57 points on the Dow Jones index"; "there was a drop in pressure in the pulmonary , and automatically repair the source of supply noise. With RedHawk's integrated transistor-level characterization and unsurpassed capacity, designers can effectively reach power closure sign-off for high performance SoCs, including those utilizing advanced low-power design techniques such as leakage current control, power gating, multiple voltage domains, and multiple threshold transistors. About Apache Design Solutions Apache is a provider of innovative next-generation physical power integrity software that accelerates the design process and guarantees the reliability of high performance system-on-a-chip designs. By providing tools for power, timing, and system I/O integrity, Apache enables leading networking, wireless, communication, consumer, and semiconductor companies to develop highly competitive and reliable products. With minimal setup, Apache's physical design integrity products are used early in the design process for 130 nanometer designs and below, delivering the highest standards of computational performance, capacity handling, and integrity.
