Ellisys to Display SuperSpeed USB Protocol Test and Analysis Tools at Intel Developer Forum

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) GENEVA, August 19 / MARKET WIRE/ --

Ellisys, a leading supplier of protocol test and
analysis solutions for the Universal Serial Bus (USB), Wireless USB, the
WiMedia UWB platform, and Bluetooth?, will introduce its EX280 SuperSpeed
USB Explorer at the Intel Developer Forum, to be held August 19-21 at
Moscone Center West in San Francisco, CA. Members of the Ellisys design
and marketing teams will be on hand at the Ellisys booth to discuss this
new product with engineering professionals in attendance. The Ellisys
booth will be located in the Forum's USB Community.

"Ellisys is moving quickly with the introduction of the SuperSpeed USB
Explorer, in fact our introduction of this product is well in advance of
the formal release of the specification, expected later this year," said
Chuck Trefts, Ellisys director of marketing. "Getting SuperSpeed USB
products to market in 2009 will require that developers begin testing
silicon this year, and protocol tools such as the EX280 will be
critical-path elements to any successful design effort for SuperSpeed USB
products."

Protocol tools expedite development time and help to ensure
interoperability

Protocol analysis and generation tools are used by software and hardware
engineers to understand, characterize, and emulate the communications
occurring between various components on a given data bus, such as between a
USB host controller and a peripheral component, for instance, a mass
storage device. Tools such as the EX280 SuperSpeed USB Explorer provide
technology developers with an instantaneous understanding of the complex
communications occurring between these devices, and greatly assist in
turning out highly reliable products that will perform to design goals,
time-to-market expectations, specification requirements, and successfully
interoperate with other devices.

Tektronix to have Arbitrary Waveform Generator on display

The Ellisys IDF booth will also host the Tektronix AWG7000 Arbitrary
Waveform Generator with RFXpress? software. Ellisys WiMedia Explorer(TM)
analyzers will be used to display traffic generated by TEK's AWG. The new
AWG7122B supports complete, calibrated control over the characteristics of
the WiMedia signal, including preamble synchronization sequences, cover
sequences, TFCs in all band groups, and all six band groups (BG1 - BG6).
