Synopsys allows Fuji Xerox to reduce silicon area by more than 50%
Synopsys has announced Fuji Xerox used its ASIP Designer tool to design a high-performance Application-Specific Instruction Set Processor (ASIP) for its full-colour multifunction printer. With ASIP Designer, Fuji Xerox developed a specialised instruction-set custom processor that consumed less than 50% of the die area of a fixed hardware implementation while still meeting the performance requirements. In addition, unlike fixed hardware, an ASIP o...
ATPG technology delivers faster test pattern generation
A new ATPG and diagnostics technology that delivers 10X faster run time and 25 percent fewer test patterns has been introduced by Synopsys. It will shorten schedules, accelerate silicon debug and reduce test time and cost. Innovative, memory-efficient engines for test generation, fault simulation and diagnosis execute finely segmented threads on all available server cores, maximising throughput while minimising the number of patterns required to ...
Automotive test solutions meet ISO 26262 standard
TetraMAX ATPG, DesignWare STAR Hierarchical System and DesignWare STAR Memory System, key components of Synopsys' manufacturing test solution, are now certified for the ISO 26262 automotive functional safety standard. SGS-TÜV Saar, an independent accredited assessor, formally certified Synopsys' TetraMAX, STAR Hierarchical System and STAR Memory System following an in-depth Functional Safety Process Audit of the tool and IP development proce...
