30 January 2008
Azuro, Inc., a leading provider of advanced clock implementation tools for nanometer chip design, today announced that it has completed its third consecutive year of record growth. Increases in revenue resulted from worldwide customer expansion in Europe, Japan, and India and several major multi-year renewals in North America. Production tapeouts using the company's flagship PowerCentric™ clock implementation solution nearly
tripled.
“Our continuous steady revenue growth and the ongoing global adoption of PowerCentric confirms the growing need that SoC designers have for a new clock implementation solution at nanometer geometries,” said Paul Cunningham, co-founder and CEO of Azuro. “Customers are confident in our ability to deliver design differentiation, which helps them win sockets and increase gross margins in today’s competitive market. We remain committed to delivering new and unique optimization technology to ensure our customers’ success.”
To support customer growth in 2007 Azuro opened direct sales and support offices in Austin, Texas; Bangalore, India; Dallas, Texas; and Tokyo, Japan. PowerCentric was also recently adopted by STARC (Semiconductor Technology Academic Research Center) in Japan for its Ultra Low Power STARCAD-CEL V1.5 reference methodology.
