Calypto Plans Daily Technical Sessions in Addition to SLEC Product Demos During DAC; VP Applications Engineering Venkat Krishnaswamy to Present How to Implement Comprehensive System Level Methodology.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Calypto(TM) Design Systems, Inc. will demonstrate its SLEC(TM) product family in Booth #628 during the 43rd Design Automation Conference (DAC) July 24-27 at San Francisco's Moscone Center.

Calypto will host a daily technical session entitled, "Sequential Equivalence Checking -- A Comprehensive Methodology from System Level Algorithms to Register Transfer Level (RTL) Implementation." Sessions will be limited to 20 people and will be held at the following times:

--Monday: Noon and 5 p.m

--Tuesday: Noon and 5 p.m

--Wednesday: 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

--Thursday: 9 a.m.

A continental breakfast will be provided during morning sessions, lunch for noon sessions and appetizers at the 5:00 p.m. sessions.

Venkat Krishnaswamy, Calypto's vice president of Applications Engineering, will present how SLEC enables a comprehensive methodology to link System Level models to design implementation, dramatically improving productivity and verification quality in the design of multi-million gate system-on-chip (SoC) devices. Many of these devices are meant for consumer markets, which require tight schedule development, reduced power and increased performance targets. These factors -- complexity, power, performance and productivity -- are driving design teams toward higher levels of design abstraction.

Calypto recently announced availability of SLEC version 2.0, a sequential logic equivalence checking solution that enables designers to leverage their System Level model throughout their design flow. SLEC 2.0 increases capacity by 100x for System Level designs over previous releases, dramatically improves runtime and further simplifies the design debug process with counter example enhancements. These added features provide capabilities required for the broad electronic system level (ESL) market.
