Strategic Alliances

Market Challenge:
In an effort to reduce design costs, accelerate time-to-market and time-to-volume our customers look to the industry leaders in electronic design and manufacturing to provide integrated solutions that combine the advanced silicon processes and best-in-class IC design solutions. EDA tools must be able to accurately and quickly verify that a chip, once manufactured, will in fact perform as expected.


Collaborative Design Solution from Design to Manufacturing


Our Solution:
Through our Strategic Alliances program Synopsys proactively collaborates with leading foundries, IP/library vendors, and ASIC/FPGA vendors to provide advanced reference flows, complete design kits, extensive libraries, high quality IP and methodology. The combination of Synopsys' world leadership position in semiconductor design software and its comprehensive Strategic Alliances program gives Synopsys the unique ability to address our customers' design and manufacturing challenges.

Our Combined Technology/Expertise:
Synopsys provides the complementary design and verification capabilities from concept-to-silicon, facilitates open interoperability and enables optimized handoffs between design and manufacturing. Through the Strategic Alliances program Synopsys works closely with its partners to build and test reference flows, validate design rules, IP, libraries with Synopsys' latest products, Galaxy Design and Discovery Verification Platforms. Partners create manufacturing test chips to validate the above process and check correlation to real silicon. The end result is our customer's can turn to Synopsys and its partners for their next chip with confidence. Synopsys EDA technology is in the DNA of every important chip in the world today.
