Vancouver, BC, Canada -- September 16, 2008 -- PDTi™ the pioneer in providing innovative electronic design automation (EDA) web applications for the collaborative development of on-chip register interfaces and auto-generation of critical development deliverables, today announced that PDTi SpectaReg™ has dramatically simplified Icron's ITC 2001 ExtremeUSB 2.0 Bridging ASIC development for addressable registers.

PDTi will demonstrate SpectaReg, a web application that enables chip developers to Simplify, Collaborate, Automate™ addressable register interfaces, during The SPIRIT Consortium’s general public meeting at the 2008 Design Automation Conference (DAC).

• SpectaReg simplifies collaboration between software, verification, hardware and documentation teams
• Short learning curve and easy integration provides Spectrum with dramatically shortened time to market

Vancouver, BC, Canada -- December 5, 2007 -- PDTi™ the leading provider of chip development tools for collaboratively managing register-map specifications and auto-generating code and documentation, today announced that by adopting PDTi SpectaReg™ for a recently completed project, Spectrum Signal Processing by Vecima has successfully reduced their hardware and software register development time.

In creating run-time configurable slave components, the register-map design pattern is often used; SpectaReg can automate away your register-map headaches.

Vancouver BC, Canada, December 19, 2006 - Productivity Design Tools (PDTi), a provider of electronic system level (ESL) tools for FPGA and ASSP development teams, today announced the hiring of Ian Hyatt as the Director of Software Development, and the appointment of Barry Jinks and Peter Wilson to PDTi's Advisory Board.

* ESL software generates soft-IP from XML-based specifications

Vancouver BC, Canada -- September 26, 2005 -- Productivity Design Tools (PDTi), a new electronics design automation (EDA) company, today announced that it is developing electronic system level (ESL) software that manages specifications, enabling system-on-a-chip (SoC) developers to automate all aspects of code and documentation generation. PDTi provides chip developers with an extensible tool-based methodology that enables project-wide synchronization, automated re-engineering, and improved opportunities for reuse. The privately funded Company is focused on achieving efficiency improvements in chip development through better abstraction and reuse.

After observing problems with managing specifications in chip-design environments, engineer-turned-entrepreneur Jeremy Ralph launched a company to provide electronic system-level (ESL) design tools that automatically generate code and documentation from specifications.

Productivity Tools Joins Micronet, a Canada-wide network of researchers from universities, industry and government research organizations working towards the development of the next generation of microelectronic systems.
