Synopsys has completed its acquisition of Atrenta, a provider of SoC realisation solutions for the semiconductor and consumer electronics industries. Atrenta is a recognised leader in static and formal technologies and the acquisition supports Synopsys' strategy to quickly and effectively deliver the advanced capabilities that will help semiconductor customers solve their toughest design and verification challenges.

Verification requirements have exploded as designs have become increasingly complex. Atrenta's early design analysis tools enable efficient, early verification and optimisation of SoC designs at the RTL level. Combined with Synopsys' industry-leading verification technologies, Atrenta's leading static and formal technology further strengthens Synopsys' Verification Continuum platform and enables customers with this unique verification environment to meet the demands of today's complex electronic designs. Atrenta's SoC design analysis technology also fortifies the Synopsys Galaxy platform with additional power, test and timing-related analysis technologies. By integrating Atrenta's complementary technology into Synopsys' platforms, Synopsys can offer designers a more comprehensive, robust portfolio of silicon to software solutions for today's complex electronic systems.

The terms of the deal are not being disclosed.
