Sequence Partners with DongbuAnam to Create Power-Aware Reference Flow | ||||||||
| EDA power leader Sequence Design
today disclosed that it is developing an advanced power-aware reference
flow with Korea's DongbuAnam Semiconductor Inc., one of the world's
largest pure-play wafer foundries, for 130nm and below process technologies. The Sequence flow addresses a range of critical issues including SoC (System-on-Chip) power analysis and optimization, stand-by leakage and dynamic power optimization, and power grid analysis and optimization. "There are two things about Sequence that make them an ideal partner for this effort," said Jae Song, executive vice president of strategic business development for DongbuAnam. "First, they have unparalleled technology for dealing with power issues associated with today's most advanced semiconductor manufacturing; and second, their commitment to interoperability with other EDA vendors makes integration a pain-free experience for our customers."

Japan's STARC Certifies Sequence's PowerTheater and CoolTime For Low-Power, High-Performance Production Flow | ||||||||
| Japan's Semiconductor Technology
Academic Research Center (STARC) has certified Sequence Design's PowerTheater
and CoolTime SoC power analysis and optimization tools for its new
STARCAD-21 production flow. STARC (http://www.starc.jp)
is a research and development consortium founded by 11 major Japanese
semiconductor companies. PowerTheater provides a complete power analysis and optimization toolkit for full design realization, including the only reliable view of power at the RT level. CoolTime is the industry's leading cell-based electrical integrity tool for the concurrent analysis of voltage drop, power, electromigration (EM), timing, and signal integrity (SI). "CoolTime's ability to render accurate and convergent analysis of interdependent electrical effects is well suited to meet the challenges of 90nm design, and PowerTheater's results for peak power and average power in advanced designs were highly correlated with actual silicon," said Nobuyuki Nishiguchi, vice president and general manager, Development Dept.-1, STARC. "Sequence deftly meets the requirements for power-signoff, and is a key component of this important new production flow." More... |

Holly Stump Joins Sequence as VP Marketing | ||||||||
| Industry veteran Holly Stump has
joined EDA power leader Sequence Design as its new vice president
of marketing. Stump, with more than 20 years in EDA and high-tech,
is responsible for corporate, product and strategic marketing tasks,
reporting directly to Sequence president and CEO Vic Kulkarni. "Holly comes to us at an exciting time," Kulkarni said. "Her charter and capabilities are fundamental as we launch the company to the next level of success." Stump's experience runs the gamut of high tech B2B marketing, business development, channel management, and international sales experience in the EDA, semiconductor and electronics industries. She is a veteran of several successful EDA startups which have been acquired by industry leaders. As a co-founder of Logic Modeling Systems (now Synopsys), she built the marketing organization and channel relationships which led to over $7 million in revenues in the first year of shipment; did major accounts sales; and set up Asian sales and support operations as managing director based in Tokyo. As vice president of sales and marketing at Precedence (now Mentor Graphics), Stump signed several key channel deals, grew revenues by a factor of 4, and helped the company move from a consulting to product focus.

Sequence PowerTheater Meets Sub-90nm Challenges For Mobile, Wireless | ||||||||
| Sequence Design released the next
generation of its PowerTheater design suite, targeting requirements
for wireless, mobile, and large system-on-chip (SoC) designs below
the 90 nanometer node. Sequence said new PowerTheater features enhance its RTL power analysis capabilities and usability. Enhancements include peak power analysis, power gating, voltage domains, expanded support for RTL and gate-level power estimation of multiple voltage domains and support for SystemVerilog. "Below 90 nanometer, power dominates all other issues," said Vic Kulkarni, Sequence president and CEO, in a statement. "PowerTheater is unique in its ability to analyze and optimize power at RTL, where decisions are made that determine 80 percent of a chip's total power budget, leading to better results and faster time-to-market."
