SANTA CLARA, CALIF. — August 8, 2004 — Sequence Design, Inc., the technology leader in low-power design solutions, announced today that the company will co-sponsor- the International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED). Other sponsors include Intel, Texas Instruments and IBM.

ISLPED is the premier forum for the presentation of recent advances in 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 9-11, 2004 at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel, Newport Beach, California.

"Sequence is fully focused on addressing the critical leading-edge design problems such as leakage power, dynamic power, voltage-drop and their impact on timing and signal-integrity using our unique NanoCool™ power integrity flow," said Vic Kulkarni, president and CEO of Sequence Design. "We look forward to learning from the innovative research and development on low-power design solutions that will be discussed at ISLPED 2004."

Earlier this week, Sequence launched the NanoCool Low-Power Design seminar series with co-sponsors Artisan Components and Sun Microsystems. Attendees packed the historic Silicon Valley Capital Club Athletics to learn about power management at ESL, RTL and gate-level, with a particular emphasis on leakage power reduction. Seminar proceedings are available for qualified inquiries from seminars@sequencedesign.com.

NanoCool Initiative

NanoCool is a joint venture among semiconductor designers, EDA tool vendors, IP companies and library suppliers, to provide a complete power integrity flow that includes concurrent power management, timing and signal-integrity capabilities to achieve rapid design closure at 130-nm and below.
