Dr Holzapfel was previously senior director for IP Integration at CoWare.
With the advent of technologies of.13 micron and below, design challenges are increasingly systems and embedded software issues, and require a comprehen-sive system-level design (SLD) solution including processor and bus design, al-gorithm development, and SoC architectural exploration and design.
CoWare's new Application Services and IP Integration organization empowers customers to accelerate deployment of SLD tools by helping them implement proven method-ologies and model key systems IP, and by providing training to engineers on new SLD techniques.

"Heinz has the proven ability to deliver real results on time-leveraging 18-plus years' experience leading semiconductor engineering organizations with multi-site and multinational development teams," said Richards.
"Heinz led the engi-neering team at CoWare that helped make the ConvergenSC Model Library the industry's most comprehensive portfolio available of fast and cycle-accurate Sys-temC IP models.
Now, this new organization, with Heinz at the helm, will help our customers differentiate as they focus on getting their leading-edge designs to market." "Above RTL, design concerns become much more application-specific," said Hol-zapfel.
"Our domain knowledge in the converging consumer electronics, comput-ing, and communications market supports customers who are deploying CoWare's system-level design tools.
We have all of the components in place-superior products, the largest portfolio available of IP models for SLD, and a streamlined support infrastructure-to help these customers reduce their overall design time and beat their competition to market." About Dr Heinz Holzapfel Dr Holzapfel joined CoWare in February 2003, when CoWare acquired LISATek, where he was vice president of Application Services.
Prior to LISATek, Dr Hol-zapfel was vice president of engineering at Monolithic Systems, a startup focus-ing on embedded memory IP.
Previously, he worked for 15 years with Siemens and Infineon in multiple positions in Germany and the U.S.
He was responsible for building a worldwide SoC development organization with headquarters in San Jose, Calif.
Dr Holzapfel pioneered several new technologies, like the use of embedded DRAM technology for high memory densities and the use of mask programmable logic for low-cost and fast turnaround times for SoC products.
Dr Holzapfel is from Augsburg, Germany.
He holds an M.D.
in Solid State Physics and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Munich.
