“IC Compiler along with Synopsys Professional Services enables a predictable flow that requires fewer iterations for a successful tapeout.”
Masao Hirasawa, General Manager, Digital Consumer LSI Division, NEC Electronics Corporation

"Because we were moving to a new, advanced technology node and time-to-market was critical, we used Synopsys’ tapeout-proven Pilot Design Environment, which includes full implementation, formal checking, and physical verification as well as leverages best-in-class tools. We were extremely satisfied with the results achieved with IC Compiler and Pilot on our complex design."

“We received first samples in early December, and immediately had critical high-speed interconnect IP and processor cores running successfully. Within another week, our most complex logic was fully operational. Having access to Synopsys’ industry leading tools, IP, and services enabled Teradici to achieve first silicon success.”

“Our latest chip was developed with very challenging power optimization goals and targeting a new process node. Synopsys consultants worked closely with us to not only deliver the tapeout under a very tight schedule, but to also ensure advanced methodologies were built into our design flow. We are now recommending this flow to our 90 nanometer customers.”

“As we planned this project, we wanted to work with the best technology and the best design services partner. We selected Synopsys’ Discovery Verification tools and Synopsys Professional Services and were rewarded with a successful chip tapeout and new methodologies that enhanced our design flow for our future designs.”

“‘Vigent’ represented a leap in design complexity for video cameras. To help Sony make the leap, Synopsys Professional Services supported two critical tape-outs for us. This support included design environment development, training in system-level modeling, and design assistance for specification, RTL verification and hierarchical ASIC handoff.”

"Using Synopsys tools entirely with Synopsys Professional Services was the fastest way to get this powerful architecture to silicon, and then to customers."
Will Robbins, Design Director, picoChip, Design Director, picoChip

"We followed the Synopsys design flow, and the chip is passing tests without any problems. We will use Synopsys Professional Services and their RTL design methodology for our future chips."
Dr. Frank Cheng, Deputy Chief Engineer, Leadtek, Deputy Chief Engineer, Leadtek

"We didn’t know such a solution was possible until we worked with Synopsys Professional Services."
