  4. The Need ZeroWatt’s Innovations in Analog signal processing - 5X Lower power consumed in the conversion process - Power Managed Digital Back-end • The real world is mostly • Analog Analog signals must be processed and turned into Digital Information This can consume Substantial power Sound Heat ZW 1010 Light Motion

  5. ZeroWatt Analog Compression Engine (ACETM) Entire signal spectrum digitized Intelligent Compression Wasted Power Saved Power • Efficient Signal Digitization: Up to 5x lower power consumption at device level • Adaptive Power Optimization: Power automatically adjusted based on signal activity • System-wide Power Reduction: Reduces power consumed by other system components such as micro-controllers and DSPs ZW 1010

  6. ZeroWatt Technology Vision End-to-end System Level Power Management ACE Managed FIFO • Proven (ZW1030) • Proven (ZW1020) • Designed (ZW1035) • Planned (ZW1040) Analog Front End Smart FIFO Converter Digital Back End

  7. Compelling Roadmap Partner Logo Partner Logo • All features of ZeroWatt Building Blocks, Plus • Integrated within an FPGA and/or an ASIC • Integrated with MCU/DSP(ZW30XX) • Integrated with AFE, Radio (ZW40XX) Partner’s Products • All features of ZW 1040, Plus • 14-16 bit (adjustable), Partner’s process • Smaller geometry process (<65nm), up to 100MSPS • Available: 06/2012-09/2012 Joint Development ZW 1010 PP 50XX PP 40XX • All features of ZW 1020, Plus • Digital Back-end Power Management (ZW1030) • Analog Front-end Power Management (ZW1040) • ZW1030 (Avail Since 09/2011) ZW1040 Available 03/2012 ZW 1040 ZW 1030 ZeroWatt Building Blocks • 10 bit, 5MSPS • Low power with Analog compression • Adaptive analog compression • ZW1010 (Avail since12/2010) ZW 1020 (Avail Since 06/2011) ZW 1X40 ZW 1X40 ZW 1020

  8. Key Applications • Applications that benefit the most from ZeroWatt ACE Technology Battery operated devices that need long service life Pacemakers/ICDs, Tablets, Hearing aids Infrequently active devices that consume continuous power Sensors: Industrial, Remote Military Applications Multichannel instruments, Base stations, Handhelds ADC is a significant portion of the total power consumption Space constraints require minimum heat dissipation Ultrasound sensors, Smart phones, Pulse monitors

  9. IP Packaging & Partnership Plan ZeroWatt ACETM FIFO ADC Industrial Digital Mixed Signal Interface Automotive Micro-controller Advanced System Power Management Engine Telecom SoC Or FPGA Consumer Computer ZeroWatt Technology Joint Partnership Partner’s Products Markets Addressed

  10. ZeroWatt Business Strategy • Standalone analog semiconductor market is large and growing, but presents significant challenges for a new entrant • “Integrated” applications provide the perfect platform for ACE technology • ACE can be a valuable building block along side microcontrollers and DSPs • By forming technology & financial partnerships with industry leaders, ZeroWatt can participate in large, growing markets • ZeroWatt will continue to invest in technology development and drive a compelling roadmap to stay ahead of the industry curve • The company will not invest in the infrastructure required to manufacture, sell and support standalone products • The company is seeking a $1M in seed investment to • Add full time engineering resources to execute joint development programs • Establish development infrastructure to drive innovations

  11. Pro-forma P & L

  12. Summary ACETM • Simple, elegant, highly intelligent power management technology • Serves as a ubiquitous building block for a broad range of applications in analog and digital domains • Five valuable patents filed • On-going partnership discussions with several industry leaders • Meetings held with nearly a dozen MCU suppliers, FPGA vendors and high volume users • High level of interest from several larger players • Capital efficient business model suitable for strategic partners, technology angels and selected VCs • Relatively small investment needed to build value • Simple ownership structure • Potential for a quicker exit compared with a traditional semi play
