Artisan Components And SliceX Announce Agreement To Provide Phase Locked Loops To Artisan Customers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 25, 2002 Joint Agreement Makes Available High-Performance PLLs To Over 900 Companies Using Artisan Libraries Artisan Components, Inc., (Nasdaq:ARTI), a leading provider of semiconductor intellectual property (IP) and Salt Lake 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 EXperts (SliceX, Inc.), a leading analog intellectual property (IP) and design services company, today announced an agreement to supply Artisan library users with compatible, high-performance Phase Locked Loops (PLLs). Under the terms of the agreement, Artisan and SliceX will work together to deliver industry leading, high-quality PLLs designed to specific customer requirements. Customers can order the PLLs directly from Artisan Components. SliceX's PLLs feature excellent stability, very low jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle , compact area and minimal power consumption. The PLLs can be individually designed to fit into any IC core or into an Artisan pad ring. Additionally, many PLL PLL - phase-locked loop versions are also available off-the-shelf.
