DesignWare® Foundry Libraries

Synopsys partners with industry leading foundries to provide designers with easily accessible, silicon proven standard cells, I/Os and memories, which are optimized for their process technology. By working together to ensure tight integration of the foundry libraries and Synopsys flows, we are able to offer a complete path from RTL to GDSII. All the views required to enable a state-of-the-art implementation and verification flow are available to all DesignWare Library licensees at no additional cost. This unique combination of libraries, proven methodology, high quality standards and industry-leading IP technical support will help reduce design risk and accelerate time to market.

Our current Foundry Libraries partners:

		TSMC Libraries are developed and process tuned to TSMC semiconductor technologies. Each logic and I/O cell is validated in silicon and meets the company's rigorous library quality criteria. TSMC libraries are in production, in multiple customer designs. Currently available in the DesignWare Library are the TSMC 0.15, 0.13 micron, and Nexsys 90 nanometer standard cells and I/Os.
		Synopsys and Chartered Semiconductor have partnered to develop, license and distribute a complete offering of high performance standard cells, I/Os and memory compilers optimized for Chartered's 0.35um, 0.25um, 0.18um and 0.13um process offerings. Based on Synopsys library development technology and methodology, the Chartered libraries are a set of technology-aggressive high-performance, and high-density foundation intellectual property (IP) specifically targeted for manufacture of IC designs at Chartered Semiconductor.
