Synopsys Design and Verification Platforms and DesignWare Interface IP Enable Optimized PPA and Faster Time-to-Market

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 31, 2018 — (PRNewswire) —

Highlights:

Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that early adopters of Arm's latest premium mobile platform, including Arm® Cortex®-A76, Cortex-A55, and Arm Mali-G76 processors, have successfully taped out SoCs using Synopsys' Design Platform with Fusion Technology, Verification Continuum Platform, and DesignWare® Interface IP. In addition, QuickStart Implementation Kits (QIKs) for Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55 are available today to accelerate time-to-market and achieve optimized performance, power, and area (PPA).

"Early and deep Arm-Synopsys collaboration has enabled tapeout success for initial adopters of Arm's new premium mobile platform, including Arm Cortex-A76, Cortex-A55 and Arm Mali-G76 processors," said Deirdre Hanford, co-general manager, Synopsys Design Group. "The combination of Synopsys' Design Platform with Fusion Technology, Verification Continuum Platform, and DesignWare interface IP delivers optimized performance, power and area with accelerated time-to-market for Arm-based products."

Synopsys' Design Platform with Fusion Technology has been leveraged to achieve optimized implementation of the new mobile cores:

The QIKs for Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55, which include implementation scripts and reference guides, take advantage of new Fusion Technology to deliver improved PPA and faster turnaround. The QIKs were built using Arm Artisan® POP technology optimized for these Arm mobile processors in 7-nanometer (nm) process technology. To help designers achieve their design targets quickly and confidently, Synopsys offers design services based on extensive experience hardening Arm processors; services available range from QuickStart implementation through turnkey core hardening.

Early adopters of Arm's new premium mobile platform used Synopsys' Verification Continuum solutions extensively in their tapeouts, including:

Synopsys' high-quality DesignWare Interface IP, used by early adopters of Arm's new premium mobile platform, enables rapid development of mobile SoCs. DesignWare IP for mobile markets includes controllers and PHYs for USB, DDR, PCI Express®, MIPI, and Mobile Storage interfaces, and is shipping in billions of units today.

"Arm has worked with Synopsys to enable numerous mutual customer successes," said Nandan Nayampally, vice president and general manager, Client Line of Business at Arm. "Through early engagement on our new suite of premium mobile IP, we have enabled our initial adopters to tape-out with solutions that accelerate their designs to market while optimizing power, performance, and area."
