Unterpremstaetten, Austria (July 22, 2010) – austriamicrosystems (SIX: AMS) Full Service Foundry business unit today announced the fourth anniversary of high volume production of its leading edge 120 V 0.35 µm High-Voltage CMOS technology H35. The H35 specialty foundry technology allows the integration of 3.3 V, 5 V, 20 V, 50 V and 120 V NMOS and PMOS devices on a single chip without any process changes.

H35 is the first purely CMOS based High-Voltage foundry process that matches BCD performance and chip sizes at much lower process complexity. Rigorous modularity permits 100 % reuse of low voltage CMOS design IP. H35 offers fully scalable High-Voltage NMOS and PMOS devices, floating logic libraries as well as a best-in-class power-on resistance. This makes the 120 V High-Voltage CMOS technology a compelling solution for fabless design houses and IDMs engaged in fields such as sensor interfaces, power over ethernet, motor controllers and a variety of automotive applications.

“The 0.35 µm High-Voltage CMOS process has been running for more than four years in high volume production in austriamicrosystems’ state-of-the-art 8-inch wafer fabrication facility. A vast number of foundry customers have benefited from austriamicrosystems’ high-voltage know-how and commitment to provide customers best-in-class analog semiconductor process technology, manufacturing and services.” says Thomas Riener, Vice President and General Manager of austriamicrosystems’ Full Service Foundry business unit. “As only three mask levels on top of CMOS are required, it makes the H35 the lowest complexity process in the market. Combined with area and performance optimized devices, H35 is the optimum choice for designing competitive products in a voltage range from 20 V to 120 V.”

For its fully automotive and medical qualified High-Voltage CMOS process H35, austriamicrosystems delivers its industry benchmark design environment (“HIT-Kit”). The HIT-Kit comes complete with silicon-validated digital libraries, I/O libraries meeting the military ESD and JEDEC latch-up standards with I/O pads designed to surpass 8 kV HBM and 250 mA latch-up immunity, special utilities optimized for High-Voltage CMOS product design and excellent characterized circuit simulation models.

WILSONVILLE, Ore., July 22, 2010—Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that the Mentor Embedded™ Nucleus® Real Time Operating System (RTOS) is the handset industry’s most widely adopted RTOS, found in over 2.11 billion devices, according to the VisionMobile’s 100 Million Club research report. The 100 Million Club is a watch-list of software companies whose products have been embedded in more than 100 million cellular handsets. The Mentor Graphics® Nucleus RTOS product usage equates to 42% of the worldwide handset market, according to the study.

The Nucleus RTOS product is a proven, highly efficient, and reliable operating system, providing a comprehensive set of system services that scale to any target hardware. The Nucleus RTOS product delivers best-in-class performance while optimizing resource usage in a single-OS platform, or part of a multi-OS platform, across any project, processor or system architecture. Thus, developers and device manufacturers can create more profitable and differentiated products with reduced production costs and faster time to market.

“The Mentor Embedded Nucleus RTOS is recognized for its hard real-time performance and efficiency, reflected in our 100 Million Club study,” stated Dr. Andreas Constantinou, VisionMobile research director. “As the market share leader for RTOS, we predict that Mentor’s Nucleus OS will continue to see broader usage with the explosion of multi-core SoCs and open source-based Smartphones that use Linux and Android in addition to the RTOS.”

VisionMobile reported the research results in May 2010, based on companies that have developed and licensed embedded software for mass-market phones. Established as an industry analysis firm focused on mobile software and services, VisionMobile provides a broad range of services, from competitive analysis and industry maps, to on-site training and “under-the-radar” research studies. The recent report can be found at www.100millionclub.com.

“We are proud that our Nucleus RTOS is recognized as the industry’s market share leader for cellular devices,” said Glenn Perry, general manager, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software division. “We are responding to our customers’ needs by continuing to invest in best-in-class technologies and services, particularly Nucleus, Linux, and Android for single- and multi-OS solutions on single- and multi-core SoCs for today’s consumer products. As cellular technology expands beyond mobile phones, we look forward to continued growth and adoption of Nucleus as the de facto standard RTOS in this arena.”

The Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division comprises the Mentor Embedded family of products and services, including embedded software intellectual property (IP), tools, and consulting services, to help embedded developers and silicon partners optimize their products for design and cost efficiency.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (July 23, 2010) – MoSys, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOSY), a leading provider of serial chip-to-chip communications solutions that deliver unparalleled bandwidth performance for next generation networking systems and advanced system-on-chip (SoC) designs,  has successfully taped out its Bandwidth Engine™ integrated circuit (IC). This first member of the MoSys Bandwidth Engine family of advanced system solutions will combine MoSys’ patented 1T-SRAM® high-density embedded memory with its ultra high-speed 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) SerDes interface (I/O) technology and an arithmetic logic unit (ALU).

MoSys expects its Bandwidth Engine to enable up to four times the throughput, two to four times the density, up to 40 percent lower power and deliver a system cost savings of up to 50 percent, compared with today’s alternative solutions. MoSys is targeting to deliver first samples in late 2010, with production quantities available in 2011.

“The tape-out of our first Bandwidth Engine IC is a major milestone in MoSys’ transition to a fabless semiconductor company, and I want to congratulate our engineering team on this magnificent accomplishment. We have several prospective customers lined up in the high speed networking and storage markets, and this tape-out is a key first step in bringing the first Bandwidth Engine product to market,” said Len Perham, President and CEO of MoSys. “We believe that the market for our Bandwidth Engine family of ICs will be substantial and provide a strong foundation for long-term growth and value creation at MoSys.”

For the past several years, processor performance in applications, such as computing and networking, has continued to nearly double every 18 months. During the same period, the performance of today’s system memory technology has not kept pace, creating a significant barrier to improving overall equipment performance. The Bandwidth Engine family of ICs represents a breakthrough for next-generation networking systems. Combining the high-speed random access of a 1T-SRAM memory core with 16 serial I/O lanes operating at 10 Gbps will enable a Bandwidth Engine device to provide up to two billion accesses per second, which is more than twice the performance of designs utilizing conventional memory technology. To further boost system performance, the on-chip ALU will allow macro functions to be performed within the Bandwidth Engine, reducing iterations between the other packet processing ICs and the Bandwidth Engine device, the net result of which will be less intra-card electrical traffic, fewer pins, lower power, higher speed and an improved and reduced system cost.
