His extensive background in marketing and positioning EDA technology will be a great asset to InTime moving forward." Adds Smith: "The RTL design space is undergoing tremendous growth as designers look for solutions that allow them to analyze their designs at higher levels of abstraction. Having the ability to understand timing performance during the RTL design cycle is of very high value to chip design teams. InTime's RTL timing analysis solution gives designers the capability to rapidly analyze and tune their RTL code prior to handing it off for gate-level and, ultimately, physical implementation. The market opportunity and InTime's practical approach to delivering RTL timing analysis was what attracted me to the company."
