Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif. -- Extreme DA[TM] announced the appointment of Sanjay Lall as vice-president of Worldwide Sales and the expansion of its sales channel to serve its international customers. The company, which recently closed a $7.38 million Series B funding round (http://www.extreme-da.com/pdf_docs/), is the emerging leader in next-generation timing sign-off solutions for integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. (ICs). Its products are used to improve the performance and parametric yield of ICs, and to address the growing effects of process variations that occur in the latest generation of nanometer semiconductors. About Lall, Extreme DA 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.
