"Design-tool interoperability is critical for the design of complex ICs, PCBs, IC packages and high-speed components," said Karen Bartleson, director of quality and interoperability at Synopsys, Inc. "The in-Sync program establishes relationships between Synopsys and electronic design automation (EDA) vendors like Ansoft to identify and implement optimal joint flows that maximize the productivity of our mutual customers."
Users of Synopsys' Encore can now export their designs to an Ansoft tool and then, if desired, output their files to Synopsys HSPICE for further analysis. This is especially advantageous in the design of complex, high-speed passive interconnects, where electrical behavior depends on effects not included in circuit-simulation tools.
"Synopsys' in-Sync program helps our mutual customers meet their stringent design-flow requirements," said Brad Cole, Ansoft's Product Marketing Manager, Signal Integrity Products. "This important link to Synopsys Encore and HSPICE enables our customers to benefit from the enhanced accuracy the Synopsys and Ansoft design flow provides."
