-powered intelligent devices and AI has increased demand for chips and systems with greater functionality and performance, reduced size and lower power consumption. Our customers, who design silicon and software-defined systems, are facing intense pressure to deliver innovative offerings in shorter timeframes and at lower prices. In other words, innovation in chip and systems design often hinges on providing products “better,” “sooner,” and “cheaper” than competitors. The design of these chips and systems is extremely complex and demands engineering solutions with a deeper integration of electronics and physics, enhanced by AI. Over the past several years, market verticals including AI, 5G, automotive and cloud computing infrastructure have contributed to the ongoing demand for our products and services. With ANSYS, Inc, (Ansys) now part of Synopsys, we can maximize the capabilities of product R&D teams broadly enabling them to rapidly innovate AI-powered products.

Our Role—As the Silicon to Systems Engineering Solutions Partner

Synopsys' silicon to systems engineering solutions are designed to help our customers—chip and system engineers and software developers—speed up time to market, achieve the highest quality of results, mitigate risk, and maximize profitability.

Chip and systems designers must determine how best to design, locate and connect the building blocks of intelligent systems, and to verify that the resulting design behaves as intended and can be manufactured efficiently and cost-effectively. This is a complex, multi-step process that is expensive and time-consuming. Our wide range of products help at different steps in the overall design process, from the design of individual ICs to the design and simulation of larger systems. Our EDA products increase designer productivity and efficiency by automating tasks, keeping track of large amounts of data, adding intelligence to the design process, facilitating reuse of past designs and reducing errors. Our S&A products give engineers the ability to explore and predict how products will work in the real world, helping them speed time-to-market, lower manufacturing costs, improve quality, and decrease risk. Our silicon IP products offer proven, high-quality pre-configured circuits that are ready to use in a chip design, saving customers time and enabling them to direct resources to features that differentiate their products. Our global service and support engineers provide expert technical support and design assistance to our customers.
