Cirrus Logic Presents At Prestigious ISSCC Conference; Advanced Read Channel Chip Design Draws Interest from IEEE Society.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 2001 Cirrus Logic Inc. (Nasdaq:CRUS) presented its latest advancement utilizing the company's leading analog/mixed-signal and signal processing technologies at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference International Solid-State Circuits Conference is a global forum for presentation of advances in solid-state circuits and Systems-on-a-Chip. The Conference offers a unique opportunity for engineers working at the cutting edge of IC design to maintain technical currency, and to , the foremost global forum for presentation of advances in solid-state circuits and systems-on-chip. The presentation, titled "A Low Jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle 125 - 1250MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. Process Independent 0.18(mu)m CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. PLL PLL - phase-locked loop Based on a Sample-Reset Loop Filter," highlights Cirrus Logic's most recent advancement in high speed read-channel technology that provides for up to one gigabit per second data recovery from hard disk drives. "We are pleased to have been invited to this highly prestigious event where the best minds in semiconductor development meet to discuss and review new achievements in our industry," said David French, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Cirrus Logic. "This is another example of how Cirrus Logic is moving forward as one of the premier technology innovators."
