Carbon Design Systems Expands Corporate Office, Opens West Coast Sales and Support Office.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 21, 2003 Carbon Design Systems -- an 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 delivering products enabling pre-silicon system validation See validate. validation - The stage in the software life-cycle at the end of the development process where software is evaluated to ensure that it complies with the requirements. -- today signed a multi-year lease that effectively doubles its capacity. In addition, Carbon announced it has opened up a West Coast sales and support office centered in Mountain View, CA. The rapid expansion matches the pace of increasing sales activities and product deployment, after concluding a successful beta period. Carbon's corporate headquarters, located in Totten Pond Office Park, will enable Carbon to increase headcount to 25 by the end of 2003. Carbon is currently hiring for positions in engineering, applications and sales. "Considering that our first revenue is 6 months ahead of plan, increasing our headcount and expanding our space was the only prudent move to make," noted Steve Butler Steve Butler (born September 26, 1956 in Amarillo, Texas) was an open-wheel racer who was successful in USAC Sprint Car and Silver Crown racing.

Most recently, he held the position of director of western area sales at eSilicon, where he generated 50% of their revenue during his tenure. In addition, he held similar sales positions at Verisity and Quickturn Design Systems. At Quickturn, Chow was the top western region sales person for two consecutive years. About Carbon Carbon is delivering software products that enable pre-silicon system validation, where thousands of users can simultaneously develop and test software on the "golden" 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; hardware implementation model. For the first time, critical software -- drivers, firmware A category of memory chips that hold their content without electrical power. Firmware includes flash, ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM technologies. When holding program instructions, firmware can be thought of as "hard software." See flash memory, ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM and FOTA. , and diagnostics (1) Software routines that test hardware components (memory, keyboard, disks, etc.). Diagnostics are often stored in ROM chips and activated on startup. (2) Error messages in a programmer's source code that refer to statements or syntax that the compiler or assembler -- runs at KHz execution speed on the "golden" model with cycle and register accuracy. This enables system and customer validation to occur much earlier than traditional methods. Carbon Design Systems, Inc. is privately held and funded by Flagship Ventures and Commonwealth Capital.
