Apache Exceeds Q2 Sales Targets, Marking Sixth Consecutive Quarter of Record Growth; EDA Veteran Joins Apache to Head Newly Established European Sales/Support Office.MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Apache Design Solutions, the technology leader in physical power integrity solutions for system-on-chip (SoC) designs, today announced its sixth consecutive record quarter. Compared to the previous quarter, sales increased more than 30 percent. Contributions to the record results came from new customer orders, as well as from additional licenses and renewals from a number of existing accounts. Apache's full-chip dynamic physical power integrity solution, RedHawk-SDL, has been adopted by a majority of the top ten semiconductor companies to address their ever-growing dynamic power closure issues. "As mainstream designs move towards 130nm and 90nm process nodes, we are seeing more and more chip failures due to the dynamic power supply noise and its impact on timing," stated 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. "Our tools lead the market in addressing the critical missing link in today's power flow, especially for those designs using advanced low power techniques." "We're excited by the growing worldwide acceptance of our solutions by leading chip designers," said Keith Mueller, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. "The adoption of RedHawk-SDL by top semiconductor companies as well as 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 in their Reference Flow 5.0 demonstrates the need for an accurate true-dynamic power integrity solution." To support the continuously increasing market demands, Apache opened a direct European sales and support office in Paris, France. 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. veteran Jose Gandlarz joined Apache to head the European operations. Before joining Apache, Gandlarz lead European sales for Axis Systems (acquired by Verisity Inc., Nasdaq:VRST VRST Virtual Reality Software and Technology VRST Virtual Reality System Testing ). Prior to Axis Systems he was at Avant! (acquired by Synopsys Inc., Nasdaq:SNPS SNPS Space Nuclear Power System ). In addition, Apache has responded to numerous product inquiries from the South Korean market by signing Siliconeer Inc. as its distributor for sales and technical support. About RedHawk-SDL Apache's flagship RedHawk-SDL is a full-chip Vectorless Dynamic(TM) physical power integrity solution that fills the critical missing link for physical power flows in 130nm, 90nm, and 65nm SoC designs. Certified by TSMC's 5.0 Reference Flow and correlated with silicon measurements and SPICE, RedHawk-SDL delivers the most accurate power integrity solution on the market. It addresses dynamic power issues such as simultaneous switching outputs (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-SDL delivers cell-based capacity with transistor-level accuracy and is the cornerstone of Apache's physical power integrity flow. It can be used early in the design flow when physical implementation decisions are being made, and throughout the entire design process. RedHawk-SDL enables designers to examine the timing impact 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 on 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. Apache's physical design integrity products are used early in 130 nanometers and below design process with minimal setup, delivering the highest standards of computational performance, capacity handling, and integrity.
