SANTA CLARA, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 13, 2008— Calypto Design Systems Inc., the leader in sequential analysis technology, announced today it has selected Advanced Semiconductor Technology Ltd. (AST) to be its exclusive distributor and technical representative in Israel.

Driving this move is a strong demand in Israel for Calyptos register transfer level (RTL) power optimization and functional verification products. AST of Raanana, Israel, was selected because of its deep technical expertise and successful track record in the electronic design automation (EDA) market.

AST has an excellent reputation and well-established relationships with many semiconductor companies, says Doug Aitelli, Calyptos vice president of worldwide sales. AST will give Calypto an immediate, credible presence in Israel.

Calyptos advanced RTL power optimization and functional verification products, based on unique sequential analysis technology, dramatically reduce power and improve design quality. PowerPro CG (Clock Gating) is an automated RTL power optimization product that reduces power by up to 60%. Calyptos SLEC (Sequential Logic Equivalence Checker) is the industrys only proven sequential equivalence checker capable of comparing designs with differences in timing, state and levels of abstraction.

Calyptos PowerPro CG product offers unique capabilities to address the challenge of RTL power optimization, remarks Uri Farkash, director of EDA Operations at AST. We see tremendous opportunity for Calyptos products within Israel.
