ASIC design software supports latest NEC platform
Synplicity has signed a joint development agreement to provide support for NEC's Instant Silicon Solution Platform ASIC devices.
Synplicity also established an optimised flow between the Synplify ASIC software and verification and test insertion products from Verplex and LogicVision.
The company has also devloped an "Express Evaluation" kit for the Synplify ASIC software which reduces the amount of time needed to conduct a hands-on evaluation of the tool.
"Over the past 10 months, we have found many partners in the semiconductor and design automation industry who share our goal of improving designer productivity", said Andy Haines, vice president of marketing at Synplicity.
"As a testament to the growing popularity of our approach, both Fujitsu and Chip Express have committed design flow support based on requests from their customers who have used the Synplify ASIC software to achieve excellent results.
Likewise, we are pleased to team with LogicVision and Verplex to improve interoperability between our respective products.
Our new relationships with these leading ASIC and EDA vendors should enhance the capabilities of our Synplify ASIC software and reinforce our commitment to enabling a high productivity ASIC design flow".
Performing a design tool evaluation can be a time consuming process, often taking months of training and practice with a tool before determining its appropriateness for meeting design goals.
Synplicity's new Synplify ASIC "Express Evaluation" toolkit enables a designer to complete a four-step evaluation, including installation and training, within a day.
The kit provides all of the basic information needed to conduct a hands-on evaluation of the Synplify ASIC software including: an evaluation copy of the software; a design tutorial; a test case design; and all of the necessary design libraries.
The kit is available at from the Synplicity website.
The Synplify ASIC software is available now for Linux (Red Hat 7.1), HP-UX 11.0, Sun Solaris 2.7/2.8 and Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 operating systems.
