MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
July 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced a contract
extension from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA) for the Posh Open Source Hardware (POSH) program to
continue innovations in analog/mixed-signal (AMS) verification as
part of the second phase of the Electronics Resurgence Initiative
(ERI), in partnership with Lockheed Martin. The next phase of ERI
builds on the initiative's existing goals to
enforce electronics security and privacy
and provide access to differentiated electronics design
capabilities to benefit aerospace and defense interests. As part of
the POSH program, Synopsys is partnering with Lockheed Martin to
provide systems and security expertise to improve efficiency of
complex circuits. Synopsys' first year in the POSH program
produced the industry's first automated flow for AMS emulation
using Synopsys' market-leading ZeBu® FPGA-based
emulation technology. These innovations build on existing
commercial products and promise a direct and fast path from
DARPA-funded to commercialization. AMS emulation has great interest
from aerospace and defense companies like Lockheed Martin and a
growing number of commercial companies.
Synopsys will present an update on new innovations in AMS
verification, including the industry's first AMS emulation solution
using real number models generated from SPICE models, as well as
novel AMS assertion, at the DARPA Electronics Resurgence Initiative
(ERI) Summit 2019 in Detroit,
Michigan, July 15-17, 2019.
Synopsys will demonstrate an example of its AMS emulation solution
to validate an SoC, which includes the Synopsys
DesignWare® ARC® EM Processor controlling
several AMS circuits.
"We have leveraged our expertise in emulation to innovate a new
solution for analog and mixed-signal SoCs," said Christopher Tice, vice president, Verification
Continuum solutions and manufacturing in the Synopsys Verification
Group. "We look forward to supporting the next phase of the DARPA
POSH program to expand upon the technical success and enable a
commercial emulation solution for mixed-signal SoCs."
