Berkeley Design Automation's Analog FastSPICE and RF FastSPICE Selected as Finalist for EDN Innovation Award.EDN Magazine Recognizes Unique Combination of Full SPICE Accuracy and 5X-10X Performance SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Berkeley Design Automation Inc., provider of Precision Circuit Analysis(TM) technology for advanced analog and RF integrated circuits, today announced that its Analog FastSPICE and RF FastSPICE tools have been named a finalist for the 17th annual EDN Innovation Awards. They are the first analog or RF 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. tools to be named a finalist in five years, and they are one of only three finalists in the 'ESL, pc-board, and IC front-end design and verification' category. The nomination is based on the tools' full-SPICE accuracy, 5X to 10X performance versus SPICE, and vastly superior DC and periodic-steady-state (PSS See EPSS. ) convergence. "We are very proud that EDN has named Analog FastSPICE and RF FastSPICE finalists for the EDN Innovation Awards," said Ravi Subramanian, 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 Berkeley Design Automation. "Along with the strong customer adoption of our products, this nomination validates the value we are bringing to analog and RF design teams." About The EDN Innovation Awards Instituted in 1990, the Innovation Awards honor the people, products and technologies that have shaped the semiconductor industry over the past year. Nominees for the Innovator of the Year category must have demonstrated innovation that resulted in a significant advance in technology and/or product development during the past 12 months. "Our 2006 roster of Innovation finalists includes great products across the analog, digital, software, and test spaces. We received a tremendous set of mixed-signal ASSP (Application Specific Standard Part) An ASIC chip that is designed as a generic device for a particular market. Whereas an ASIC is typically used only by its creator, ASSPs are used by many different companies in the design of their products. See ASIC. entries, and more processor entries than ever," states EDN Editor-In-Chief Maury Wright. "I look forward to the rigorous voting process and know that the winners will be top notch." In the next few weeks, EDN's worldwide audience of electronics engineers and engineering managers will use an online ballot to select the ultimate winners from among these finalists. EDN's editorial staff and Editorial Advisory Board also take part in determining the final winners. We encourage you to visit www.edn.com/innovation to review each of the nominees. Winners will be announced at a black-tie ceremony on April 2, 2007 in San Jose, CA.
