MapleSim 4 introduces a new 3-D construction feature, which saves engineers significant time when developing multibody models. MapleSim provides instant, realistic feedback of multibody systems by dynamically rendering the model as it is built. In addition, the 3-D construction environment lets engineers add and manipulate multibody components directly in the 3-D workspace. Other new features include flexible probe management tools, including an ...

Synopsys announced the availability of IC Compiler 2010.03, a physical implementation solution delivering up to 2.5X faster performance on multicorner/multimode (MCMM) designs, and enhanced In-Design technology for faster design closure. IC Compiler’s In-Design technology helps prevent late-stage surprises by enabling signoff-accurate static timing analysis, rail analysis and physical verification during design. The new software release has pro...

Synopsys announced the immediate availability of the DesignWare Ethernet Quality-of-Service (QoS) Controller IP which implements the new IEEE specifications for audio video bridging (AVB) features. The DesignWare Ethernet IP solution supports the new IEEE 802.1AS and 802.1-Qav version D6.0 specifications.

Synopsys announced the immediate availability of the DesignWare MIPI 4G DigRF(SM) Master Controller IP.
