Synplicity Provides Optimal Support for Xilinx Spartan-3A Devices
December 05 2006 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Synplicity, Inc. (Nasdaq:SYNP), a leading supplier of software for
the design and verification of semiconductors, today announced its
industry-leading Synplify Pro� FPGA synthesis software provides
optimal support for Xilinx� new low-cost, high-volume Spartan�-3A
family of I/O-optimized FPGAs (announced Monday by Xilinx in a
separate release). The Synplify Pro FPGA synthesis solution helps
designers take full advantage of the high I/O Spartan-3A devices by
delivering superior logic utilization results. With more I/O pins
and less logic available in the device, it is essential to produce
designs that are area efficient while still meeting timing
requirements. By using a true timing-driven approach to synthesis,
the Synplify Pro software meets these design performance
requirements while simultaneously minimizing area. An efficient use
of logic is critical when targeting high-volume applications in
order to minimize costs. In addition to cost reduction, use of the
Synplify Pro software reduces power consumption since, typically,
fewer logic resources are needed to implement a design. The
Synplify Pro software supports industry I/O standards such as AGP,
PCI and many others which are pre-engineered into the Spartan-3A
devices. This allows designers to quickly and easily specify an I/O
standard for various ports in a design. The Synplify Pro software
is tightly integrated with the Xilinx ISE� software for maximizing
designer productivity. �Synplicity is committed to supporting
Xilinx in its goal of providing cost and time-to-market advantages
for customers who design high-volume applications,� said John
Gallagher, senior director outbound marketing at Synplicity. �The
high I/O-to-gate count ratio introduced by the new Spartan-3A
device advances programmable logic use in several areas including
fast-growing consumer and industrial applications. We believe the
new Spartan-3A FPGAs, when synthesized by the Synplify Pro
software, will allow our mutual customers to reach their timing
goals quickly and at the same time minimize overall costs.�
Synplicity�s timely support for new 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 understand
the unique structure and benefits of the new devices and to
optimize its synthesis software to provide users with optimal
performance immediately upon device availability. Pricing and
Availability The Synplify Pro software, offering support for
Spartan-3A devices, is available now. Pricing for the Synplify
software starts at $10,450 (U.S.). For more information contact
