Verigy has introduced the V101, a low-cost, zero-footprint, 100 MHz tester-on-board system for wafer sort and final test of today’s most cost-sensitive ICs and microcontrollers. The V101 addresses the extreme low cost requirements of these devices and intense time-to-market pressures.

Synopsys announced that Yamaha, a leading provider of mobile audio and Graphics LSI chip products, achieved their aggressive performance targets ahead of schedule with Design Compiler(R) Graphical and successfully taped out their latest Graphics LSI chip.

Synopsys has introduced its In-Design Rail Analysis capability to accelerate design closure. Part of Synopsys’ IC Compiler in-design ecosystem, In-Design Rail Analysis utilises embedded PrimeRail analysis and fixing guidance technology to enable designers to easily perform power network verification throughout physical implementation. By identifying and fixing voltage-drop and electromigration issues earlier in the flow, designers can eliminate...

Synopsys has announced that Achronix Semiconductor Corporation, maker of ultra-fast field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), has signed an expanded business agreement to establish Synopsys as its leading EDA partner for the design of its next generation FPGAs. As a result of the new multi-year agreement, Achronix has consolidated on Synopsys’ Galaxy Implementation and Discovery Verification Platforms throughout its internal development and desig...

Synopsys announced that Himax Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of advanced semiconductors for flat panel displays, has selected Synopsys' Galaxy™ Implementation and Discovery™ Verification Platforms for its video system-on-chip (SoC) products. As part of an expanded business agreement to establish Synopsys as its primary EDA partner, Himax has also extended its use of Synopsys DesignWare® IP.

Synopsys recently expanded the SNUG program to include events in Ottawa and Austin, making the conferences more accessible and relevant to a greater number of its customers. Bringing SNUG to the backyards of additional customers underscores the value that Synopsys sees in these popular gatherings, and the strong attendance numbers and enthusiastic participation confirm that users also find value in participating in these live events, says Al Czam...

Synopsys announced new extensions to its open source-licensed Interconnect Technology Format (ITF) which enables modeling of more complex device structures and interconnect layers for parasitic extraction tools at 28-nanometer (nm) and below process technologies. Synopsys collaborated with the members of the Interconnect Modeling Technical Advisory Board (IMTAB) of the IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization (IEEE-ISTO) to define th...

ARM and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. (TWSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) today jointly announced a long-term agreement that provides TSMC with access to a broad range of ARM processors and enables the development of ARM physical IP across TSMC technology nodes. This agreement supports the companies’ mutual customers to achieve optimized Systems-On-Chip (SoC) based on ARM processors and covers a wide range of process nodes extending dow...

ARM and Synopsys have signed an expanded multi-year agreement extending ARM's access to Synopsys' innovative EDA technology. ARM will also provide Synopsys with access to the ARM Cortex-A15 processor to maximize performance and energy efficiency of SoCs built by ARM's Partners using this advanced ARM processor and Synopsys tools. Both agreements build upon a long history of partnership between the two companies, including ARM's use of Synopsys E...

Synopsys, Inc. today announced that UMC has certified Synopsys' StarRC parasitic extraction solution for its latest 28-nanometer (nm) process technologies.
