Berkeley Design Automation is an innovative electronic design automation (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. ) company focused on the challenges that come with the increasing analog/radio frequency (RF) content of today's semiconductor products for consumer and networking applications. The company is delivering breakthrough technology to dramatically improve the design and verification of analog, RF, and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs). The company's first product has been adopted by more than ten of the world's leading semiconductor companies. "We are extremely proud to be selected as a finalist for this prestigious award," said Ravi Subramanian, president and CEO of Berkeley Design Automation. "This is recognition of our team's success to date in delivering innovative solutions for our customers' toughest analog/RF IC design and verification problems." More than just buzz The "Red Herring 100 North America" award is an important part of Red Herring's tradition of recognizing new and innovative technology firms and their entrepreneurial founders. Berkeley Design Automation and the other nominees were rigidly evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their ecosystem. This unique assessment of potential, complemented by a review of the actual track record and standing of a company allows Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list an invaluable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry. Bringing together the best As part of this tradition to honor innovation and entrepreneurship in the business of technology, Red Herring will again host "Red Herring Spring," a two day invitation-only summit for the CEOs and founders of the Red Herring 100 winners and finalists in Monterey, California. The summit's C-level attendees will convene under the theme "The Pursuit of Disruption" to discuss major trends and opportunities and to explore partnerships, alliances, investments, and M&A activities.

About Berkeley Design Automation Berkeley Design Automation Inc. was founded in 2003 to address the verification challenges in the design of next-generation high-performance analog/RF integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. (ICs). Berkeley Design Automation is a venture-backed, private company funded by Woodside Fund and Bessemer Venture Partners Bessemer Venture Partners is a private venture capital firm with offices in Silicon Valley, New York, Massachusetts, China, and India. It has backed such companies as Ciena, Flarion, Parametric Technologies, Skype, Staples, VeriSign and Veritas. . The company's technology characterizes the nonlinear, time-varying behavior of complex analog and RF circuits, providing extremely accurate predictions that dramatically reduce the need for silicon re-spins. The company's first product, PLL PLL - phase-locked loop Noise Analyzer, the industry's only noise analysis tool for phase-locked loops Phase-locked loops Electronic circuits for locking an oscillator in phase with an arbitrary input signal. A phase-locked loop (PLL) is used in two fundamentally different ways: (1) as a demodulator, where it is employed to follow (and demodulate) frequency or (PLLs), has been adopted by semiconductor industry leaders.
