Circuit Explorer: A high capacity optimization software tool that works within leading analog and mixed-signal design environments to bring integrated circuits to their peak performance and robustness. Circuit Explorer's automation environment allows designers to quickly setup and guide the optimization of any topology. Once set up is complete, Circuit Explorer uses high-capacity optimization to optimize up to 200 devices, specify up to 60 design corners, achieve up to 30 performance objectives and generate multiple optimized solutions based on a given topology. Circuit Explorer has combined automation with end-user control to allow designers to be fully in command of optimization, while removing tedious and time-consuming manual modifications to transistor sizing.

· Design Compiler® (DC), or DC Expert: The synthesis tool used on nearly every design in the electronics industry. It is proven through tens of thousands of successful tape-outs and supported by virtually all silicon and library vendors. DC optimizes digital designs to provide the smallest, fastest logical representation of a given function. Synopsys continues to invest in DC making it the complete synthesis solution addressing all design goals such as timing, test, power, and datapath and providing the fastest path to results for logical designers.

· ISE Genesis: TCAD simulation tools solve fundamental, physical partial differential equations, such as diffusion and transport equations for discretized geometries, representing the silicon wafer or the layer system in a semiconductor device. This deep physical approach gives TCAD simulation predictive accuracy. It is therefore possible to substitute TCAD computer simulations for costly and time-consuming test wafer runs when developing and characterizing a new semiconductor device or technology.



· System Studio: A versatile system-level design creation, simulation and analysis tool that addresses three critical system-level design areas for innovative system-on-a-chip (SoC) applications: algorithms and architectures and software integration. Algorithm design is an essential task in signal processing applications such as wireless telephony, multimedia codecs, DSL and cable modems. Architecture design involves putting together the right processors, custom logic, buses, memories, and peripherals in order to make most effective usage of the silicon, and software integration addresses the analysis of the interaction of the hardware and software components of the SoC.

· Hercules PVS: The fastest physical verification solution on the market. An integrated component of the Galaxy Design platform, Hercules PVS offers customers the performance and capabilities needed for comprehensive verification with foundry certified sign-off.

. HSPICE: The industry’s “gold standard” for accurate circuit simulation and offers foundry certified MOS device models with state-of-the-art simulation and analysis algorithms. With over a million designs successfully taped out, HSPICE is the industry’s most trusted and comprehensive circuit simulator.

· VCS®: Synopsys has evolved VCS from an HDL simulator into a complete RTL verification solution. VCS provides advanced, built-in technologies, including full-featured testbench, complete assertion support, a library of over 50 assertion checkers and comprehensive coverage and analysis, to enable smart verification of complex system-on-chip designs. VCS delivers easy-to-use and easy-to-deploy multi-language simulation for Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog and SystemC™. These built-in technologies are natively supported in VCS to deliver the highest performance and productivity required to raise the quality of verification of complex designs. VCS is the only product that offers a complete RTL verification solution in a single product.

· TetraMAX® ATPG: Automatically generates high quality manufacturing test vectors. TetraMAX is the only ATPG solution optimized for a wide range of test me
