Sequence Partners with DongbuAnam to Create Power-Aware Reference Flow
Sequence Design 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."
The new flow will incorporate Sequence's power-aware technologies, including the latest releases of PowerTheaterT, a complete toolkit for SoC power analysis and optimization; CoolPowerT , providing physical power optimization for stand-by leakage power, and dynamic power; and CoolTimeT , for static and dynamic power grid analysis and optimization.

"Relationships with such well-respected and sophisticated partners as DongbuAnam pay enormous dividends," said Sequence president and CEO, Vic Kulkarni. "Only by working with companies at the forefront of science and technology can we maintain the competitive edge necessary to compete in today's semiconductor business."
DongbuAnam will make the newly developed power-aware reference flow jointly developed with Sequence available to its customers in April 2006.
