Signet Design Signs Design Services Agreement with Major Semiconductor Manufacturer.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 22, 2002 Signet Design Solutions Inc. (www.signetdesign.com), today announced that it has reached a design services agreement with Texas Instruments See TI. (company) Texas Instruments - (TI) A US electronics company. A TI engineer, Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit in 1958. Three TI employees left the company in 1982 to start Compaq. Incorporated (TI). Services include design implementation from netlist to GDSII GDSII Graphic Design System II of ultra-large, high-performance complex 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. to be manufactured in TI's most advanced semiconductor facilities. Signet utilizes the latest physical synthesis technologies available to achieve rapid timing closure in the design of high-speed digital circuits. "Signet Design has shown a solid understanding of TI's need to drive design flow technology, enabling the company to maintain a competitive edge in high-performance ASICs," said Buddy Williams, manager, 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. Software Supplier Relations. "With their expertise in full front-to-back design services, Signet Design is a complement to our 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. technology services as we meet our customers' diverse design needs." "TI's commitment to a Signet Design relationship is part of the foundation of Signet's strategy to grow into a major semiconductor services provider," said Signet Design President, Hung Hua.
