Synplicity has developed a novel MultiPoint synthesis technology for multi-million-gate SoC and PSoC integrated circuits.

Synplicity has developed a novel MultiPoint synthesis technology for multi-million-gate SoC and PSoC integrated circuits By providing a high productivity design methodology that is scalable to tens of millions of gates, the new technology addresses design challenges that are emerging as ASICs and PLDs become more complex

Synplicity intends to deploy the MultiPoint technology within each of its ASIC and PLD synthesis products, and has also upgraded its Synplify ASIC software as the first product to support the MultiPoint synthesis flow.

"SoC and PSoC designs are pushing the limits of existing synthesis methodologies, the result being that designers must expend a lot of manual effort managing synthesis flows that can result in long runtimes and suboptimal design quality", said Ken McElvain, chief technology officer, Synplicity.
