SANTA CLARA, Calif. - March 26, 2007 - TSMC symposiums bring together the brightest lights in design and manufacturing, including Sequence Design, this year exhibiting at all three events: April 10, San Jose; April 13, Boston; and April 16, Austin.

Sequence experts will be on hand to discuss the latest and greatest power-saving design technologies, including RTL power analysis, clock power analysis, mixed-voltage design, power-grid optimization, and much more.

"This is the ideal place to meet designers working on the most advanced designs and process technologies," said Holly Stump, Sequence vice president of marketing. "We're looking forward to continuing our dialog on low-power design at the TSMC Symposiums."

Sequence Spotlight Products

Sequence's silicon-aware PowerTheater 65 is the industry's first RTL power analysis and management solution, with physical-design features to insure results that closely relate to real silicon. It has recently enhanced its singular ability to accurately estimate and reduce power at RTL with silicon-aware features for voltage islands, mixed voltage threshold, power gating, and clock gating.

The Cool Products family - CoolTime, CoolPower, and CoolCheck - accelerate design closure times by preventing time-consuming iterations between separate timing, SI, power analysis and optimization tools. In addition, CoolProducts help reduce power and ensure power grid integrity to prevent power-related problems.

The Columbus extraction product family is both a foundation for the company's RTL-to-silicon, power-aware SoC design tools and the industry's leading RLC parasitic extraction tool for high-performance digital (Columbus Turbo) and analog/mixed-signal (Columbus AMS) designs.

TSMC Symposiums

TSMC's "The Proven Path to Success" symposiums give attendees access to the technologies, design services, and backend services necessary to drive market share and revenue growth. Focus areas include breaking news on 45nm and 65nm advanced technologies, DFM programs, TSMC libraries and IP, and more. For additional information: www.tsmc.com.
