Artisan Components' Partner Network Hits 100th Member Mark -- Partner Network Largest In Physical IP Industry; inSilicon Joins Artisan's IPNet, Becomes 100th Partner.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 2, 2000 Artisan Components Inc., (Nasdaq:ARTI), a world leader in physical intellectual property (IP) libraries, today announced inSilicon Corporation (Nasdaq:INSN INSN International Nepal Solidarity Network ), a leading provider of communications technology Noun 1. communications technology - the activity of designing and constructing and maintaining communication systems engineering, technology - the practical application of science to commerce or industry for complex systems-on-a-chip, as the 100th member of its Partner Network. inSilicon's enabling communications technologies, including the JVX JVX Joint Vertical Lift Aircraft JVX Java View Accelerator JVX Joint Vertical-lift eXperimental (TM) Java(TM) Accelerator, Java Accelerator(TM), Ethernet, USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. , PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). and IEEE-1394, are used in a wide variety of markets encompassing communications, consumer, computing and office automation. Artisan's Partner Network was established in early 1999 to provide broad infrastructure support for integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC) designers. Program members offer a wide variety of IP, design service and tool support solutions that streamline the design process for Artisan's user community. The 100 companies participating in Artisan's Partner Network represent the world's leading IP, 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. and design services suppliers including MIPS Technologies, Cadence Design Systems (company) Cadence Design Systems - A company that sells electronic design automation software and services. http://cadence.com/.

"inSilicon shares Artisan's goals of reducing product development costs, improving design reliability and accelerating time-to-market for customers," said Wayne Cantwell, president and 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 inSilicon. "Delivering our leading-edge semiconductor IP technology with Artisan's industry-standard libraries provides a powerful and time-critical solution for the fabless IC design community. We are excited to be Artisan's 100th partner." "Winning in today's dynamic system-on-chip (SoC) design environment requires a complete design-to-silicon solution," said Mark Templeton, president and CEO of Artisan Components. "The collaborative environment of our partner network provides an invaluable benefit to the thousands of designers using our libraries. inSilicon is a highly respected supplier of critical communications IP and we are thrilled to have them as a member in our partner network." About Artisan's Partner Network Artisan's Partner Network is comprised of three solutions-based programs: IPNet(TM), ServiceNet(TM) and EDANet(TM). These programs provide Artisan's library users with IP, design services and EDA tool support that they need to quickly and successfully complete their IC designs. All licensed network members have access to the latest Artisan libraries and are authorized to work directly with Artisan's library users developing next generation silicon. Artisan's Partner Network offers library users the following program benefits:
- IPNet - a wide range of soft IP and microprocessor solutions;
- ServiceNet - a variety of design services: logic design,
place-and-route and tape-out;
- EDANet - enhanced tool support.
