Synopsys announced the availability of the DesignWare STAR ECC (Self-Test and Repair Error Correcting Codes) IP as a part of its DesignWare STAR Memory System® product family. The new DesignWare STAR ECC IP offers a highly automated design implementation and test diagnostic flow that helps system-on-chip (SoC) designers to quickly reduce the number of embedded memory transient errors, such as soft errors, that occur in emerging semiconductor pro...

Synopsys unveiled new HSPICE(r) Precision Parallel (HPP) multi-threading technology that delivers up to 7X simulation speed-up for complex analogue and mixed-signal designs. In addition to the new HPP technology, the HSPICE 2010 solution includes enhanced convergence algorithms, advanced analogue analysis features and foundry-qualified support for process design kits (PDKs) that extend HSPICE gold-standard accuracy to the verification of complex ...

Synopsys today announced that eMemory Technology, Inc. has selected Synopsys' CustomSim™ solution for all of its circuit simulation needs. On a 45-nanometer (nm) embedded non-volatile memory, the CustomSim solution demonstrated up to 2 times faster simulation runtime compared to other commercial FastSPICE tools, and delivered results tightly correlated to silicon data. Based on these results, CustomSim is now used in verification production flo...

Synopsys announced that Nuvoton Technology Corp (TSE:4919), affiliate of Winbond Electronics Corp, standardized on Formality equivalence checking to accelerate verification of its Super I/O chips, displacing their existing solution. Using Formality, Nuvoton designers were able to complete equivalence checking out of the box twice as fast, allowing them to meet their challenging design and schedule goals. This success is now driving broad deployme...

Synopsys announced the immediate availability of the DesignWare DDR PHY compiler, supporting DDR2, DDR3, LPDDR and LPDDR2 SDRAMs. The DesignWare DDR PHY compiler offers designers a web-based GUI to assemble a customized, high-performance DDR PHY for their system-on-chips (SoCs). The DesignWare DDR PHY compiler evaluates more than 60 variables and allows the evaluation of unlimited 'what-if' scenarios. The output of the PHY compiler is a customize...

Synopsys and Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq: VSEA), the leading producer of ion implantation equipment used in the manufacture of semiconductors, today announced a collaboration to develop Technology CAD (TCAD) models for cryogenic ion implantation. By enabling faster optimization of the cryogenic implant process through simulation, the models derived from this collaboration will speed up process development of advanced C...

Synopsys announced the immediate availability of the silicon-proven DesignWare Data Converter IP for SMIC's popular 65-nanometer (nm) Low Leakage (LL) process technology, enabling designers to improve their chips' power efficiency and ease their integration efforts. Synopsys is the first IP provider to offer a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance data converter IP solutions consisting of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-a...

Synopsys, Inc. announced new capabilities in TetraMAX ATPG and Yield Explorer that decrease the time, effort and cost of deploying a volume diagnostics flow and speed-up yield ramp. When yield has not yet reached acceptable levels during initial manufacturing phases, IC product teams must quickly identify and fix the dominant causes of yield loss. Synopsys' enhanced volume diagnostics solution cross-correlates large volumes of data from design, f...

Synopsys announced that its DesignWare SATA IP solutions, including Host and Device Digital Controllers and mixed-signal PHY IP, have successfully passed the Serial ATA International Organization (SATA-IO) 6G certification.
