Worldwide Adoption of Apache's Complete Dynamic Power Integrity Solution Drives Record Q1 Sales; RedHawk Customers Achieve More Than 100 Production Tapeouts MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—April 19, 2005— Apache Design Solutions, the technology leader in physical power integrity solutions for system-on-chip (SoC) designs, today announced that Q1 sales grew by more than 80 percent compared to the same quarter of the previous year while continuing to remain cash flow positive. RedHawk-SDL, the company's flagship product for complete SoC dynamic power integrity, also reached a milestone during Q1 with more than 100 production tapeouts from over 30 customers worldwide. Contribution to record sales came from both existing and new customers. Major semiconductor companies worldwide continued wider deployment of RedHawk into their power closure sign-off flow. "As the complexity of dynamic power integrity increases, our continuing technology advancements have enabled us to keep pace with customers' needs and to gain their confidence in solving critical design issues," stated Andrew Yang, CEO of Apache. "Achieving a major milestone of 100 production tapeouts demonstrates the maturity of our solution and establishes RedHawk as the market leader in dynamic power sign-off." To support this sustained growth, Apache has established subsidiary offices in Japan and Korea, Apache Design Solutions K.K. and Apache Design Solutions Y.H., respectively. In addition, Apache staffed direct sales and support offices in San Diego, Calif.; Dallas, Tex.; Nice, France; and Bangalore, India. Apache will be showcasing their complete dynamic power integrity solution, including dynamic voltage drop analysis, power grid optimization and fixing, package / IC co-verification, and advanced low-power design verification at the upcoming Design Automation Conference (DAC) in Anaheim, California, June 13-17, in booth #409. About RedHawk RedHawk is a full-chip Vectorless Dynamic(TM) physical power integrity solution for SoC power closure sign-off of 130nm, 90nm, and 65nm designs. Certified by TSMC's 5.0 Reference Flow and correlated with silicon measurements and SPICE, RedHawk addresses dynamic power issues such as simultaneous switching output (SSO) for core, memory, clock, and I/O, as well as the effects of on-chip inductance, package RLC, and decoupling capacitance. RedHawk enables designers to identify dynamic "hot spots," examine the impact on timing, accurately pinpoint the cause of dynamic voltage drop, and automatically repair the source of supply noise. With RedHawk's integrated transistor-level characterization and unsurpassed capacity, designers can effectively reach power closure sign-off for high performance SoCs, including those utilizing advanced low-power design techniques such as leakage current control, power gating, multiple voltage domains, and multiple threshold transistors. About Apache Design Solutions Apache is a provider of innovative next-generation physical power integrity software that accelerates the design process and guarantees the reliability of high performance system-on-a-chip designs. By providing tools for power, timing, and system I/O integrity, Apache enables leading networking, wireless, communication, consumer, and semiconductor companies to develop highly competitive and reliable products. With minimal setup, Apache's physical design integrity products are used early in the design process for 130 nanometer designs and below, delivering the highest standards of computational performance, capacity handling, and integrity.
