Predictable Success

Predictable success comes from having a comprehensive set of correlated design tools. But it’s more than that. It’s having the confidence in those tools to make room for innovation. It’s creating market opportunities instead of simply responding to market trends. It’s differentiating your products and, ultimately, maximizing your profitability.

Today, you need solutions that work seamlessly together to eliminate wasted time and resources caused by costly iterations. You need tools that solve complex design problems concurrently. You need a fully integrated platform that automatically and simultaneously optimizes for things like speed, low power consumption, and reliable yield. In short, you need to predict success.

Galaxy Design Platform
The most comprehensive solution for advanced integrated circuit design.
The Galaxy™ Design Platform is an integrated design implementation environment with best-in-class tools, enabling advanced IC design. Anchored by Synopsys’ industry-leading IC implementation and sign-off tools, together with the open Milkyway™ database, the Galaxy Design Platform incorporates consistent timing, signal integrity (SI) analysis, common libraries, delay calculation, and constraints from RTL all the way to silicon. By concurrently optimizing for timing, area, SI, power, test, and yield, the Galaxy Design Platform delivers the highest performance with the fastest time to results. Finally, correlated optimization and analysis throughout the design process ensures the most efficient flow with predictable results.

DesignWare IP and System Solutions Portfolio
Synopsys DesignWare® intellectual property (IP) provides designers with a broad portfolio of digital IP cores, verification IP, and hardened mixed-signal PHYs. When combined with our large investment in design for re-use and verification methodology, certification, silicon validation, and comprehensive worldwide technical support, DesignWare IP gives hardware designers a faster and lower risk path to chip success.

Synopsys system-level solutions include tools and virtual platforms that connect hardware and software development flows for leading systems-on-chip (SoC) platforms. The combination of IP and system-level solutions is unique in that it enables the concurrent development, integration and verification of hardware and software throughout the design cycle. This results in significantly faster releases of platform-based systems and SoC products, and as much as a 9 to 12 month reduction in time to market.

Design for Manufacturing Product Family
Synopsys RTL-to-silicon solution.
In the ongoing drive towards smaller, faster, and less expensive chips, the lines between design and manufacturing are blurring. Where there used to be a clear separation of design and manufacturing responsibilities between groups, there is now the need for intense collaboration and communication. Synopsys offers the only complete RTL-to-silicon solution with its Galaxy Design and Discovery Verification Platforms and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) product offerings. Synopsys DFM products enable customers to develop, deploy, and optimize manufacturing processes at advanced process nodes. The combined use of Synopsys platforms and DFM products allows customers to establish the critical links between design and manufacturing that are necessary to implement and ramp manufacturable, high yielding processes at the 90 nanometer (nm), 65-nm, and 45-nm process nodes.
