Synplicity's Synplify Pro Software Delivers Support for Virtex-5 LXT Platform FPGAs
October 17 2006 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Synplicity, Inc. (Nasdaq:SYNP), a leading supplier of software for
the design and verification of semiconductors, today announced its
Synplify Pro� synthesis software supports the newest members of the
Xilinx (NASDAQ:XLNX) Virtex-5 family of 65-nanometer FPGAs. The
Xilinx Virtex-5 LXT FPGAs, announced on October 16, are the second
of four domain-optimized platforms, featuring built-in PCI Express
block and low-power serial I/Os. Synplicity�s timely support for
the newest Xilinx devices is a result of the long-term relationship
between the two companies, in which Synplicity obtains early access
to Xilinx device architecture specifications. This early access
allows Synplicity to optimize its synthesis software for new
devices and provide support immediately upon availability. The
Virtex-5 LXT FPGAs are the first to deliver built-in PCI Express
Endpoint and Tri-mode Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC)
blocks. The Virtex-5 LXT platform also features the industry�s
lowest power 65-nanometer (nm) transceiver, typically consuming
less than 100mW per channel at 3.2 Gbps. �Our Virtex-5 LXT platform
addresses the challenging bandwidth, power and cost targets facing
equipment vendors today,� said Sandeep Vij, vice president of
worldwide marketing at Xilinx. �We recognize the importance of
having an optimized flow to support our latest FPGA devices and our
partnership with Synplicity enables Virtex-5 LXT designers to take
full advantage of the device�s speed, capacity and versatility when
using the Synplify Pro software.� �The Virtex-5 LXT platform opens
up a much broader market for FPGAs, and we are excited to provide
optimized support for these high-performance devices,� said Andy
Haines, senior vice president of marketing at Synplicity. �Through
our close relationship with Xilinx, we believe we are able to offer
our mutual customers an advanced synthesis solution, enabling them
to achieve the highest device performance possible. We look forward
to our continued partnership with Xilinx in which we will jointly
tackle some of the most complex timing closure issues for ultra
high-capacity FPGAs so that we can provide even greater support for
future generations of Virtex-5 devices.� Ultra High-Capacity Timing
Closure Task Force Synplicity and Xilinx continue to work closely
through the Ultra High-Capacity Timing Closure Task Force announced
by the two companies in May 2006. The mission of this Joint Task
Force is to allow engineering teams from both companies to
collaborate, define and implement new design flows that maximize
the quality of results and design productivity of ultra
high-density designs with next-generation 65-nanometer (nm) FPGAs.
There is a wide variety of applications enabled by these ultra
high-capacity devices and Synplicity has created technology that
will be used in the future to support better Incremental Design
Flows optimized to meet these unique design goals. Availability The
Synplify Pro software, offering support for Virtex-5 LXT devices,
is available now. Contact your local Synplicity sales
representative for more information. About Synplicity Synplicity�
