AMCC has presented Synopsys with its Supplier Award for Predictability.

This first annual award was established to honour key suppliers who help create a competitive advantage for AMCC.

Over 20 AMCC participants in engineering, procurement, operations and the executive staff chose this year's winners.

Synopsys was measured against all major and startup EDA suppliers.

According to award judges "Synopsys won for predictably delivering on time, first time, every time, and living up to commitments and its business model".

The award was also granted because Synopsys tools performed as advertised, worked within AMCC's design flows and enabled the company to increase productivity and maintain tapeout schedules.

AMCC designs and manufactures high-performance, high-bandwidth silicon products for the world's optical networks and uses a wide array of Synopsys tools in all phases of its design cycle.

The company uses Synopsys' SOC flow, choosing from an EDA suite that includes DC Ultra, VCS, TetraMAX ATPG, DFT Compiler and other tools.
