Synplicity, Inc. has announced it has joined the ARM Connected Community, the industry's largest ecosystem of ARM technology-based products and services. As part of the ARM Connected Community, Synplicity will gain access to a full range of resources to help it market and deploy innovative solutions that enable developers to get their ARM Powered products to market faster.

As more embedded processors are used in FPGA designs, the need grows for a seamless flow that enables designers to incorporate advanced cores into hardware, said Joe Gianelli, vice president of business development, Synplicity. Through the ARM Connected Community, we are a part of an elite
group of strategic ARM partners striving to produce the most effective ARM technology-based solutions. We believe our FPGA software solutions, which have a long track record of enabling high-performance designs, will fit nicely within this global network of companies.

Synplicity's Synplify Premier and Certify software solutions provide users with best-in-class synthesis, physical synthesis and ASIC prototyping support. Joining the ARM Connected Community gives Synplicity more exposure to embedded developers who use ARM processors in FPGA prototyping flows.
Members of the ARM Connected Community will now be able to leverage Synplicity's market leading synthesis technology in order to enable better FPGA flows.

The ARM Connected Community is a global network of companies aligned to provide a complete solution, from design to manufacture and end use, for products based on the ARM architecture. ARM offers a variety of resources to Community members, including promotional programs and peer-networking opportunities that enable a variety of ARM Partners to come together to
provide end-to-end customer solutions. Visitors to the ARM Connected Community have the ability to contact members directly through the website.

The Connected Community is all about companies working together to provide the most complete solutions in the shortest possible time.
