MegaChips Selects Forte Design Systems' High-Level Synthesis Software

MegaChips has been developing LSI products for high-end and widespread digital applications, such as game machines, digital cameras, audio-visual equipment and terrestrial digital broadcasting applications. After evaluating multiple high-level synthesis tools on two different kinds of design, one for control and the other for datapath, MegaChips chose Cynthesizer for its hardware and electronic system level (ESL) design needs.

MegaChips selected Cynthesizer because it can produce high-performance register transfer level (RTL) code, its handles design reuse better than its competitors and it makes RTL tradeoff easier. MegaChips' engineers and senior management noted that their evaluation confirmed that Cynthesizer's advanced capabilities and Forte's best-in-class support team made Cynthesizer the best choice for their next business.

MegaChips' evaluation highlights the robust feature set offered by Cynthesizer, our compelling quality of results and advanced datapath and control designs, adds Brett Cline, Forte's vice president of marketing and sales. We're delighted to be chosen as a MegaChips preferred vendor.
