ARC International ARC International (LSE: ARK) serves the rapidly growing multimedia-enabled consumer device market with two product lines. First, ARC licenses multimedia subsystems and CPU/DSP processors based on industry-leading, patented, configurable technology, and provides system-on-chip (SoC) developers with a strategic competitive advantage. Using ARC's subsystems and cores, licensees can develop highly differentiated ARC-based chips that consume less power, are less expensive to produce, and provide protection from cloning — distinct advantages over non-configurable, "fixed architecture" alternatives. Second, Sonic Focus, an ARC International company, licenses post-processing audio software that enhances the consumer multimedia experience by bringing greater clarity and realism to music derived from compressed data streams such as MP3. Sonic Focus provides technology to OEMs to restore fidelity of compressed data streams, create a "surround sound" environment, and expand stereo streams to 5.1 or 7.1 channels. For more information about Sonic Focus's award-winning audio post-processing technology, visit www.sonicfocus.com. For more information visit www.arc.com.

Coupling Wave Solutions Coupling Wave Solutions* (CWS) innovative software helps successful integration of analog/RF/mixed-signal blocks in complex SOCs. CWS products predict the level of electrical aggression generated by all components, as well as the propagation across the whole system, through a combination of interconnect, silicon substrate, and package parasitics. This integrates seamlessly into customer flows to tackle analog/RF/mixed-signal integrity from IP authoring to full-system assembly. The tool suite lets designers control noise issues — power integrity, electro-migration, cross-talk — early in the design cycle through what-if analysis, down to final layout verification. Benefits include better I/O and ESD strategies, improved IP isolations, and more. Additional information is available at www.cwseda.com.
