Galaxy helps in space design
BAE Systems has used Synopsys' Galaxy design platform to achieve success on 24 radiation-hardened space-qualified ASICs
Galaxy's predictive timing closure, as well as its tightly integrated flow, was instrumental in the design success of the complex chips. At the heart of the Galaxy flow is Synopsys' Milkyway database, which allows multiple design teams to work together on designs via a common, seamless data interface.

Synopsys' Galaxy design platform provides a complete RTL-to-GDSII low-power solution that has enabled customers to develop more competitive products and get them to market faster
During a difficult development cycle on some of the chips, the Milkyway database enabled multiple design teams to work together on 12 of the ASICs simultaneously.
The chips are all full military-aerospace quality, certified for use on multiple US Department of Defense and commercial satellite programmes.
"Our design teams' expertise, coupled with the seamless tool integration in the Galaxy flow, was paramount in meeting tight deadlines and achieving success", said David Oates, Space Electronics Functional Manager at BAE Systems.
"The chips we designed were complex, our design process is demanding, and the specs for military-aerospace are unforgiving".
"Galaxy provided a very reliable flow, enabling the high success rate on this very challenging project", said Antun Domic, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Synopsys' Implementation Group.
"We look forward to continued participation in these demanding, cutting-edge projects".
