TowerJazz to Offer Advanced RF Design Enablement Workshop at EDICon 2013 on March 12-14 in Beijing, China

NISHIWAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, today announced its CEO, Russell Ellwanger will provide the opening keynote at the Global Semiconductor Forum (GSF) 2013 on March 14 at the Pudong Shangri La Hotel in Shanghai, China. Mr. Ellwanger will discuss industry megatrends served through analog technology and how TowerJazz's advanced specialty solutions meet the specific requirements of these growing trends. The opening keynote on March 14, 2013 will take place at 08:00 - 08:35.


In addition, during March 12-14, 2013 at the Electronic Design Innovation Conference (EDICon) in Beijing, China, TowerJazz's Director of Design Enablement & CAD, Ofer Tamir will lead an interactive workshop to provide a hands-on experience showcasing TowerJazz's industry leading design support services and design enablement tools/capabilities. The workshop will feature Mentor®'s Calibre® PERC™ capability in TowerJazz design kits, TowerJazz's advanced RF models and advanced RF technology.

The Calibre PERC platform enables TowerJazz customers to perform circuit reliability verification for their latest 0.18 micron products going beyond traditional DRC and ERC tools so designers can run highly complex checks that are customized to specific design requirements as they relate to our foundry manufacturing processes.

"We are placing a strong emphasis on business in China as it consumes almost 50% of the world's ICs and internal China fabs can only cover 10% of the need. As will be seen by both Russell's keynote at GSF and Ofer's workshop at EDICon, our advanced specialty technologies and strong design tools will help address the needs of China semiconductor companies and design houses to increase their RF design capabilities, thereby maximizing their IC performance. Our increased presence in China is a further testament to TowerJazz's commitment to meet the growing demands of the APAC region," said Todd Mahlen, Vice President of APAC Sales and Power Business Development.

EDICon attendees can visit TowerJazz at booth #204. For more information, please visit the company website (http://www.towerjazz.com) or the conference websites: http://www.arena-international.com/gsf and http://www.ediconchina.com/.
