Calypto Transitions to Next Stage of Growth with Addition of Tom Sandoval as CEO.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- Calypto Design Systems Inc., the leader in bridging System and RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; design, announced the addition of Tom Sandoval as chief executive officer. Sandoval, a proven semiconductor business executive, joins the founding team to lead the company as it capitalizes on its early stage success and expands the market presence of its breakthrough 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 (IC) verification products, SLEC SLEC Software de Libre Redistribución y Educación en Colombia SLEC South Louisiana Economic Council SLEC Slavica Ecclestone Corporation SLEC Satellite Local Exchange Carrier SLEC Sheep Lice Eradication Campaign SLEC Summary List of Equipage Changes RTL and SLEC SYSTEM. "Calypto has achieved momentum in the market with particularly strong sales in the fourth quarter," stated George Pavlov, Calypto's chairman of the board and general partner at Tallwood Venture Capital. "By combining Tom's experience in successful business management with founder Devadas Varma's vision and 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. experience, the company is well-positioned for the proliferation of its products in the customer base." The appointment comes at a time when Calypto is gaining significant traction in the market place, adding several new customers in the past quarter. "Calypto has made a dramatic impact on semiconductor development in a relatively short time," stated Sandoval. "The company has successfully introduced a set of unique, industry-leading sequential equivalency checking products that are directly enabling system-level design, while reducing IC development schedules as well as the cost of developing semiconductor devices." Mr. Sandoval has over 20 years of sales, marketing and engineering experience in the semiconductor industry. He is a veteran of LSI LSI: see integrated circuit.
