Denali Software and Sharp Partner to Provide 16Mbit and 32Mbit Flash Memory Models to Designers.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers PALO ALTO Palo Alto, city, California Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2001 System Designers Gain Immediate Access to Simulation Models for Sharp's Flash Devices Through eMemory.com Denali Software Denali Software, Inc. is an American software company, based in Palo Alto, California. The company produces electronic design automation (EDA) software and intellectual property (IP) design cores for memory and other standard interfaces. Inc. will provide the first simulation models for 16Mbit and 32Mbit Flash memory devices from Sharp's Integrated Circuits Group, Flash Memory Division. The models are a result of Sharp's recent entry into the Denali Memory Vendor Partner program. Designers will use the models to simulate Sharp Flash devices and verify the interface between the system designs and flash memory. The models are now available online at http://www.eMemory.com/Sharp-Flash or at smaecom1.sharpsec.com/eprise/main/FldrSharp/Sharp/products/ products.htm.

"Sharp's entry into our MVP (Multimedia Video Processor) A high-speed DSP chip from Texas Instruments, introduced in 1994. Officially introduced as the TMS320C80, it combines RISC technology with the functionality of four DSPs on one chip. program is an endorsement of our goal to accelerate the use of new memory architectures in system-level designs," said Sanjay Srivastava, 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 Denali Software. "Denali's eMemory.com provides a broad-based communication channel between memory vendors and users, and an infrastructure for promoting new memory technology." "Denali's memory models are now available for our customers over the Internet," said Norihiro Hondo, dept. general manager of Sharp's Product Development Dept. I for Flash Memory. "We now can provide our Flash memory models for various 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. environments to coincide with our announcement of new Flash products." Sharp's Flash devices are modeled in Denali's SOMA (Specification Of Memory Architecture) format, which enables designers to use models with all popular electronic design automation tools. SOMA is the de-facto standard for characterizing semiconductor memory for the design and verification of complex electronic systems. Denali's eMemory.com provides the design community with SOMA files for more than 3000 memory components, including Sharp's 16Mbit and 32Mbit Flash devices. Denali also implemented an automated notification system through eMemory.com that automatically alerts designers when a specification has changed, and provides them with an updated version of the associated models. Denali guarantees and supports the functionality and accuracy of SOMA files. About Denali's Memory Vendor Program The mission of Denali's Memory Vendor Program is to give designers instant access to high-quality simulation models for their designs. Program partners are assured timely and comprehensive SOMA model coverage for their memory products. The SOMA models are made available at www.eMemory.com, a Web site that provides early access to models of new memory devices and automatically alerts registered users of specification changes and new product releases. Current MVP partners include AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. , Fujitsu, Hitachi, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) Microelectronics, Micron Technology, Mitsubishi, NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. , Sharp, SST SST: see airplane. and Toshiba.
