Sequence Sponsors International Symposium On Low Power Electronics and Design.Business/Technology Editors SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 2002 Sequence Design, Inc., a leading developer and distributor of power solutions, today announced that it will sponsor the International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED ISLPED International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design ). Other sponsors of ISLPED include ARM, Intel and Motorola. This event is the premier forum for presentation of recent advances in all aspects of low power design and technologies, ranging from process and circuit technologies, to simulation and synthesis tools, to system level design and optimization. Sequence will also exhibit at the conference, which will be held from August 12-14, 2002 in Monterey, Calif. "Power is becoming a critical concern as design moves to 90 nanometers and below," said Vic Kulkarni, 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 Sequence Design. "Sequence is using our unique technology leadership position to build a robust "NanoCool(TM)" low-power/low-voltage flow. This nanometer design solution includes leading architectural, logical and physical design technology that address issues such as thermal effects and voltage drop Noun 1. voltage drop - a decrease in voltage along a conductor through which current is flowing free fall, drop, dip, fall - a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity; "a drop of 57 points on the Dow Jones index"; "there was a drop in pressure in the pulmonary . We look forward to participating in discussions on innovative research and development for low-power design solutions that address the challenges of today's most ambitious designs."

About PowerTheater Sequence's PowerTheater(TM) is a comprehensive power management design suite that includes accurate 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; and gate-level full-chip power analysis and flexible power optimization. PowerTheater has market momentum with users such as 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. and Sun, and is integrated into IBM's Blue Logic(TM) ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. design system. By providing accurate RTL power estimation, precise gate-level power verification, and flexible power optimization, PowerTheater helps designers minimize power early in the design cycle and verify that power budgets are met. A versatile graphical analysis environment lets designers assess tradeoff options quickly and intuitively, along with full-chip analysis covering all major contributors to power dissipation. About NanoCool Sequence's NanoCool by Design(TM) initiative, launched in March 2002, is a joint venture between semiconductor designers, 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. tool vendors, IP companies, and library suppliers, to provide a complete flow offering concurrent power management, timing and signal integrity capabilities to achieve rapid design closure at 130nm and below. Circuit Semantics, Virtual Silicon and Silicon Metrics are members of the initiative. About Sequence Sequence Design, Inc., the SoC Design Closure Company(SM), enables system-on-chip designers to efficiently bring higher-performance and lower-power integrated circuit designs quickly to fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. . Sequence's design software and solutions give its more than 100 customers the competitive advantage they need to excel in aggressive technology markets, despite demanding complexity and time-to-market issues of sub-180 nanometer designs. Sequence has worldwide development and field service operations. The company was formed through the merger of Sente sen·te n. pl. li·sen·te See Table at currency.
