Place & route solution enables ten times design throughput
A place and route solution, suitable for both existing and new node technology, has been released by Synopsys. The IC Compiler II, which succeeds the company’s IC Compiler, provides multi-objective concurrent clock and data for pre and post route optimisation, advanced low power optimisation techniques, electro-migration analysis, transparent interface optimisation and support for 10nm process technology.
Software’s 3D textures can now be applied to curved surfaces
Providing advanced modelling and analysis features for illumination design, an updated version of illumination design software has been released by Synopsys. LightTools 8.2 provides optical design engineers with ways in which to model complex lighting systems with even greater control, speed and flexibility.
Virtual prototyping enables early development & debugging
Synopsys has announced that Faraday has selected Synopsys' Virtualiser tool for the development of Virtualiser Development Kits (VDKs), targeting a range of multimedia, networking and display SoC designs. VDKs are software development kits that use a virtual prototype as a target to accelerate embedded software development, integration and test.
Over 5,000 ASIC prototyping systems shipped
Synopsys has announced that it has shipped over 5,000 of its HAPS FPGA-based prototyping systems to more than 400 companies. The prototyping system features scalable architecture, integrated prototyping software and a rich catalogue of I/O interfaces for ASIC prototypes, accelerating software development, hardware/software integration and system validation. The systems have been deployed across a range of consumer, wired and wireless communicatio...
DesignWare IP Prototyping Kits target 10 interface protocols
Synopsys has announced DesignWare IP Prototyping Kits for 10 interface protocols, including USB 3.0, SSIC, PCI Express 2.0, PCI Express 3.0, DDR3, LPDDR3, LPDDR2, MIPI CSI-2, HDMI 2.0 and JEDEC UFS. The kits provide the essential hardware and software elements needed to reduce IP prototyping and integration effort by up to six weeks.
Design aid allows for small, high quality hearing aid ICs
Synopsys announces that Oticon has deployed Synopsys' Design CompilerGraphical RTL synthesis solution for implementation of its hearing solution IC range. Minimising IC area and power consumption while maximising functionality and performance are key factors in delivering the smallest hearing aids with the best voice quality and feature set.
Verification offered for organic thin film transistor
Plastic Logic has adopted Synopsys' IC Validator product for physical verification of its proprietary organic thin film transistor technology.
