Thompson, VP Business Development Sidana Systems, Inc. Announces Support for ECIX Standards SAN FRANCISCO, CA (June 15, 1998). At the Design Automation Conference (DAC) in Moscone Center today, Sidana Systems, Inc. (SSI) announced support of the standards developed for Electronic Component Information Exchange (ECIX), a project of the Silicon Integration Initiative, Inc. (Si2). The ECIX standards define a common electronic format for exchange of semiconductor component documentation, or "databooks." Today's announcement stated that 1) SSI is prepared to assist companies in creating ECIX-compliant databooks and 2) SSI's electronic publishing product Docsan(TM) will support these databooks in the fully indexed collections it produces for CD and website distribution. Si2 will also be distributing a custom Docsan CD at DAC. This CD contains Si2's ECIX presentations, standards, sample instances, and product information from the vendors supporting the initiative. Si2 will use the CD to demonstrate ECIX and will distribute copies to attendees who express an interest in implementing the standards. "We greatly appreciate Sidana Systems' assistance in producing the ECIX Toolkit CD and are very happy to have them on board as one of the outstanding companies who have declared their support for ECIX," said John Teets, Technology Program Manager for Si2. "Their extensive experience with semiconductor databook production services and their Docsan product technology will be put to good use by companies delivering ECIX-compliant documents." SSI's President Ashmeet Sidana said, "The ECIX standards will aid significantly in the communication and exchange of databook information. This information is very extensive, highly complex, and rapidly changing, and therefore sophisticated tools are necessary to deliver it in an accurate and timely manner. Docsan's innovative Web-based architecture and SSI's successful track record publishing hundreds of thousands of pages of semiconductor information has prepared us to extend our unique mix of products and services to support this important new standard." About Sidana Systems Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Sidana Systems, Inc. is a privately held corporation specializing in electronic publishing products and services.
