Synplicity has highlighted details of a second-generation physical synthesis technology for programmable logic designers, the first such technology in the industry
As a result, designers can leverage the performance and quality of results offered by Synplicity's Synplify Pro software with Achronix's multigigahertz programmable devices, creating opportunities for new types of products that require high performance but have been unable to use FPGAs to date.
"As we roll out our disruptive FPGA technology, the ability to offer familiar tools using a traditional design methodology becomes imperative", said Yousef Khalilollahi, Vice President of Marketing, Achronix Semiconductor Corp.
"Through this agreement, we will be able to provide industry-leading FPGA synthesis support for our multigigahertz FPGAs in a timely fashion".
"The Achronix devices are a unique programmable solution that offers customers true ASIC performance with the flexibility of an FPGA", said Joe Gianelli, Synplicity's Vice President of Business Development.
"In partnering with Achronix, our industry proven FPGA synthesis technology will extend into the untapped ultra-high-performance market segment for programmable devices".
"This agreement with Achronix demonstrates the market leadership position of the Synplify Pro software, further solidifying it as the FPGA synthesis tool of choice".
With this announcement, Synplicity will optimise its Synplify Pro software for Achronix FPGAs.
In 2007, Achronix will bundle the optimised version of Synplicity's Synplify Pro synthesis software into its integrated design environment.
