Clarisay Demonstrates Second-Generation Design Process For SAW Filters; ``Otto,'' Clarisay's Proprietary Highly Parallel Processor Speeds Design Time to Hours.Business/Technology Editors DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 2000 Clarisay, Inc., a world leader in design and innovation in surface acoustic wave A surface acoustic wave (SAW) is an acoustic wave traveling along the surface of a material having some elasticity, with an amplitude that typically decays exponentially with the depth of the substrate. (SAW) component technology for wireless applications, has developed a second-generation design process for RF SAW filters. The process has enabled Clairsay to deliver precision RF SAW designs for wireless applications, with cycle time performance that is unmatched in the industry. Clarisay SAW designs are completed in an automated environment, in a few hours utilizing "Otto," a highly parallel optimization processor that Clarisay developed in-house. The vastly improved capability of the new design process has allowed Clarisay to dramatically reduce design cycle time while achieving the most complex design specs (SPECificationS) The details of the components built into a device. See specification. for SAW filters. The second-generation design process leverages Clarisay's ability to design increasingly complex, high performance dual and tri-band filters and duplexers in optimal packaging arrangements as well as multi-chip modules A Multi-Chip Module or MCM is a specialized electronic package where multiple integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductor dies or other modules are packaged in such a way as to facilitate their use as a single IC. . "This next generation model will pave PAVE Cardiology A clinical trial–Post AV Node Ablation Evaluation the way for an unprecedented ability to integrate RF sections of wireless applications, reduce size and cost, and improve performance," explains Jim Flowers, President and Chief Technology Officer for Clarisay. Another technical victory for Clarisay was the accomplishment of a first sample run of the 902.5 Mhz design. Results from this first run using the new design process produced a filter that precisely matched the design simulation.

"Without a doubt, this demonstrates Clarisay's ability as an industry leader in optimal solutions, cycle time, and best in class complex filter design," said Dave Hinshaw, Chief Executive Officer for Clarisay. The high performance Clarisay Model CA00020 is designed for use in single or multi-band wireless handsets, RF Modules, and GSM baseband chipsets. Samples will be available in November 2000.
