Acquisition addresses power management challenges
ArchPro's silicon-proven power management technologies are a natural fit with Synopsys' advanced verification platform
Synopsys has acquired ArchPro Design Automation. ArchPro's technologies enable engineers to address power management challenges in multiple-voltage designs from chip architecture to RTL and gate-level design. These technologies allow verification of modern power management techniques such as power gating, substrate biasing, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, and extend Synopsys' leadership in low power design and verification.
