SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - December 13, 2007) - Silistix, a leading provider of innovative
software for the design of on-chip communications solutions, announced that
it has appointed Ian Barton as the company's Managing Director for its
Silistix UK, Ltd. Subsidiary. Barton will manage the operations of
Silistix's development facility in Manchester, UK.
Prior to accepting the appointment as Managing Director at Silistix, Ian
managed design facilities for complex devices across multiple sites at
Zetex Semiconductors and Motorola Ltd. He has directed all aspects of
designing devices and related software for a broad range of products
including new FPGA architectures, DSPs, and ASICs targeted at key end
markets including networking and mobile communications.
"Silistix's self-timed interconnect solutions solve a set of obvious chip
design problems," notes Ian Barton. "My experience leading a multi-site
team designing very large system-on-chip solutions for mobile base-station
applications proved that achieving final timing closure with traditional
clock-based synchronous interconnect could literally take months, even with
state-of-the-art timing-driven tools. The Silistix solution eliminates that
time-consuming and expensive headache."
"We are extremely pleased to have Ian join the Silistix team," said David
Fritz, Silistix CEO. "His broad background in managing geographically
diverse design teams will be critical as we expand our engineering
capabilities worldwide to support increasing acceptance of Silistix
products and self-timed design. Ian's experience will also be an important
factor in providing superlative support to our growing customer base."
