Nassda Participates on DATE 2005 Panel in Munich 


SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 4  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 

  Who:   Nassda Corp. (NASDAQ:NSDA) announced today that Graham Bell,
         senior director of marketing, will participate as a panelist at the
         Design Automation and Test in Europe (DATE) 2005 Conference.

  What:  Mixed-Signal Issues in SoC Designs: Looming Crisis or Innovation
         Opportunity?

         Currently, Analog and mixed-signal components in an SoC design
         comprise only a small percentage of the total number of
         transistors, yet consumes a major portion of the development and
         verification time. With the continuing momentum to every smaller
         process nodes, how will analog and mixed/signal design change to
         meet the challenges of smaller supply voltages and resultant
         increased sensitivity to signal noise and power-supply noise, as
         well as more variability in circuit performance to manufacturing
         tolerances such as lithographic and parametric effects across both
         die and wafer? What new design and verification strategies are
         needed to make design more successful, and improve productivity of
         design teams? Will incremental changes be sufficient or will
         entirely new approaches be needed?

  Who:   The following are the panelists:

         Moderator: Roland Ackermann

         Josef Sauerer, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
         Rainer Holzhaider, austriamicrosystems
         Frank Schenkel, MUNeda
         Tony Strachan, Philips
         Marius Sida, Mentor Graphics
         Graham Bell, Nassda

         Mr. Bell joined Nassda in early 2001 from Averant, Inc. where he
         was co-founder and headed marketing. He has 20 years of EDA
         experience and has held key marketing positions at Synopsys,
         Viewlogic Systems, Avista Design Systems and MicroSim.
