MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) today announced that it
has acquired Moortec, a leading provider of in-chip monitoring
technology specializing in process, voltage and temperature (PVT)
sensors. The Moortec sensors provide a key component to Synopsys'
new Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM) platform. Data from these
environmental sensors is critical to properly understanding chip
performance activity and will enable the SLM platform's analytics
engines to drive more detailed and precise optimizations at each
stage of the semiconductor lifecycle, starting with design
implementation, and progressing through manufacturing, production
test, bring-up and culminating with in-field operation.
The terms of the deal, which are not material to Synopsys'
financials, are not being disclosed.
"We continue to deliver on our roadmap of innovation to provide
silicon lifecycle optimization solutions that address the evolving
needs of the dynamic semiconductor industry," said Sassine Ghazi, chief operating officer of
Synopsys. "This acquisition accelerates the expansion of our SLM
platform by providing our customers with a comprehensive
data-analytics-driven solution for devices at the most advanced
process nodes."
In-chip monitoring is now a necessity at advanced process nodes
as it enables mission critical management of increasingly variable
physical and functional conditions in real-time, thereby increasing
performance and reliability. Moortec brings to Synopsys the
industry's most advanced and comprehensive range of in-chip PVT
sensors and control subsystems. Moortec's technology has been
adopted by many of the world's largest fabless and IDM companies,
and has been used on hundreds of chip designs on all popular
process nodes down to 5nm.
The integration of Moortec's sensor technology into the Synopsys
SLM platform adds a new dimension of value. In addition to
providing real-time in-chip feedback, data from these sensors will
now be extracted and fed to the platform's analytics engines. The
environmental data provided by these sensors is an essential part
of fully understanding complex activities within the chip.
Combining this information with data from other structural and
functional monitors provide the rich data needed to derive the
greatest optimizations throughout the lifecycle.
