SANTA CLARA, Calif., USA January 15, 2001 - Real Intent Inc., an EDA company that offers Intent-Driven functional verification technology, announced today that its Verix™ product received a product of the year award from the Electronic Products magazine. The Electronic Products award recognizes excellence in product development and the significant advances that Verix technology offers for electronic design verification.

Verix verifies that a design is free from a large class of errors that are the result of violations of Implied Intent. It speeds the design of high-end semiconductors and system-on-chip design by verifying that the design implements the designer's intent at the earliest opportunity in the design cycle--the Register-Transfer Level (RTL).

“We are pleased to receive this award and have Verix recognized by Electronic Products magazine as one of the most significant products introduced last year,” remarked Prakash Narain, CEO of Real Intent.

"We chose Verix for a Product of the Year award because it promises a real leap in the way our readers do their work, flagging whole classes of errors at an early stage in the design process," added Rodney Myrvaagnes Senior Editor, Electronic Products Magazine.

Real Intent’s Verix is featured in the 25th Annual Product of the Year awards section of Electronic Products magazine’s January issue at www.electronicproducts.com.

Verix began shipping on July 4, 2000.
