Press Release Summary: Bangalore, August 26, 2008 : Magma® Design Automation
(Nasdaq: LAVA), a provider of chip design software, today announced TitanT Analog
Migration, solving the analog mixed-signal circuit design and porting problem
through a unique modeling approach and enabling circuit optimization for a given
process technology in a matter of hours without lengthy SPICE runs.



Press Release Body: Titan Analog Migration, an integral part of Magma\'s Titan
mixed-signal design platform, focuses on solving analog/mixed-signal design,
optimization and porting challenges. Titan Analog Migration\'s model-based approach
allows circuit optimization and porting in a fraction of the time required by
simulation-based techniques. The technology enables product groups to push the
design envelope for extreme performance, to center the design for multiple process,
voltage and temperature (PVT) corner cases and reduce power and jitter. In addition
to providing an efficient and predictable way of storing analog circuits, Magma\'s
Titan Analog Migration reduces design porting time from several weeks to days.



\"The simulation-based optimization methodology has not changed for over 25 years and
is far too time consuming to use for large-scale analog circuit designs,\" said Suk
Lee, general manager of Magma\'s Custom Design Business Unit. \"Titan Analog Migration
allows designers to capture design know-how in a structured and repeatable format
and optimize circuits to given specifications using mathematical optimization
techniques. It allows customers to very quickly explore the specification boundaries
of their own circuits and optimize analog circuits for lower power and lower area in
a fraction of the time.\"
