Apache Hits Eighteenth Consecutive Quarter of Record Sales; Company Achieves 50% Growth from the Same Quarter of Previous Year
Apache Design Solutions announced that the company has achieved its 18th consecutive quarter of record sales with over 15% growth from the previous quarter and 50% growth from Q2 of the previous year, while continuing profitability. In addition, Apache opened two new R&D centers in Hsin-chu, Taiwan and Shanghai, China. These development centers are in addition to the existing R&D centers in Chengdu, China and Bangalore, India.
Recognizing power as a system-wide challenge, not just an IC related issue, Apache recently introduced Sentinel; a combined chip-package power and I/O integrity solution. Sentinel for Chip Power Model (CPM) and I/O-SSO are being used by early adopters to solve their IC-Package co-design needs.
"We are scaling our business and technology to address the critical 45 / 32 nm silicon integrity challenges for digital SoC, memory, and mixed-signal designs," said Andrew Yang, CEO of Apache. "The global expansion strategy is a critical part of our business execution and delivery of key technologies."
About Sentinel
Sentinel is the industry's first combined chip-package-board power and I/O integrity solution. It combines chip's core switching power delivery network, I/O sub-system, and package / PCB models in a single environment for accurate IC-Package co-design from early prototyping to signoff. Sentinel includes compact, Spice-compatible chip power model (CPM) including LC resonance along with high capacity I/O-SSO (SSO) solutions for optimal pad/package selection and electro-magnetic interference (EMI) for EMI noise source modeling.
