Synplicity, Inc. (Nasdaq:SYNP), a leading provider of software for
the design and verification of semiconductors, today announced its
Synplify(R) Premier software has been selected by EDN magazine as a
finalist for its 2005 Innovation of the Year Award. Instituted in
1990, the EDN Innovation of the Year Awards honor the people,
products and technologies that demonstrated innovation that
resulted in a significant advance in technology and /or product
development during the past year. Nominated in the EDA Design and
Implementation category, the Synplicity Synplify Premier software
features graph-based physical synthesis technology, merging
optimization, placement and routing to generate a fully placed and
physically optimized design. Graph-based physical synthesis
technology within the Synplify Premier software improves timing
closure by means of a single-pass physical synthesis flow for 90nm
FPGAs. Winners of the EDN Innovation of the Year Award are chosen
by a combination of public votes (via email), the editor's own
personal votes and the votes of the EDN editorial advisory board.
To participate in determining winners for the EDN Innovation of the
Year Awards, visit http://www.edn.com/innovation, and cast your
vote. "The advancements that distinguish the finalists in the
annual EDN Innovation program may seem subtle -- minimally lower
power, a slight reduction in cost, the ability to discern a faster
signal, or the gateway to new semiconductor processes," states EDN
editor-in-chief Maury Wright. "Yet those subtleties represent
hard-won engineering victories that make all the difference in the
latest compelling consumer products, computers, and communication
systems. I congratulate all of this year's finalists for advancing
the state-of-the-art in everything from discrete components to
processors to chip-design tools." "The Synplify Premier software
represents a significant development in FPGA physical synthesis
technology and we are pleased EDN magazine has recognized the
product as a finalist for its Innovation of the Year Award," said
Andy Haines, vice president of marketing at Synplicity. "Being
named a finalist for this year's award confirms our commitment to
continuing our leadership position in the FPGA synthesis market,
while at the same time providing leading-edge FPGA synthesis
solutions to our customers. We remain committed to offering
innovative software solutions that enable the rapid and effective
design of complex, high-performance semiconductors." Winners of the
2005 Innovation of the Year Awards will be announced during a
ceremony held at the 4th Street Summit Center in San Jose, Calif.
on Monday, April 3, 2006. Winners will also be published in the
April 4, 2006 issue of EDN. For more information about EDN and the
