Apache Appoints Dr. Ping Yang to Board of Directors.MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Apache Design Solutions, the technology leader in physical power integrity solutions for system-on-chip (SoC) designs, today announced that Dr. Ping Yang, the former Vice President of Research and Development (R&D) at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (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 ), has been elected to its Board of Directors. Dr. Yang worked for TSMC from 1997 until 2005, where he held various executive-level positions, including Vice President of R&D responsible for the research and development of deep sub-micron logic and embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. memory technologies, Senior Vice President of TSMC North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , and Vice President of Design Services and DRAM development. Prior to TSMC, Dr. Yang was employed at Texas Instruments See TI. (company) Texas Instruments - (TI) A US electronics company. A TI engineer, Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit in 1958. Three TI employees left the company in 1982 to start Compaq. , where he was the Director of Device and Design Flow, and was elected a Texas Instrument Fellow. Dr. Yang received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering electrical engineering: see engineering. electrical engineering Branch of engineering concerned with the practical applications of electricity in all its forms, including those of electronics. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Early years: 1867-1880 The Morrill Act of 1862 granted each state in the United States a portion of land on which to establish a major public state university, one which could teach agriculture, mechanic arts, and military training, "without excluding other scientific . He has co-authored two books, published over 120 articles in international scientific journals and holds ten patents. "We have a tremendous respect for Dr. Yang's extensive business and technical experience and his unique understanding of foundry, IC designs and design tools," 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. of Apache. "We are very excited to have him join Apache's Board of Directors and to work with him in guiding the Company's future direction in physical design analysis and manufacturability for 65/45 nanometer SoC." About Apache Design Solutions Apache is an 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 supplier of innovative next-generation silicon integrity platforms for low-power, high-performance system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs. By considering all sources of noise that impacts the design, such as power, signal, package/system IO, substrate and temperature, Apache's silicon integrity platform enables designers of leading networking, wireless, communication, consumer and semiconductor companies to detect, fix and prevent design weaknesses that can result in reduced yield or failed silicon. Apache's vendor neutral platforms enable designers to adopt any industry's standard physical design flow for their toughest design challenges. Apache has direct sales and support offices worldwide with over 40 customers, including 7 of the top 10 semiconductor companies. For more information, visit www.apache-da.com.
