MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Sept. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- DesignWare IP portfolio for GF 12LP+ solution includes USB4,
PCIe 5.0, Die-to-Die HBI and 112G USR/XSR, 112G Ethernet, DDR5,
LPDDR5, MIPI, OTP NVM and more
- Long-standing collaboration between the two companies has
resulted in the successful development of DesignWare IP from 180-nm
to 12-nm for a wide range of applications
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced its collaboration
with GLOBALFOUNDRIES® (GF®) to develop a broad portfolio of
DesignWare® IP for GF's 12LP+ FinFET solution, including
USB4/3.2/DPTX/3.0/2.0, PCIe 5.0/4.0/2.1, die-to-die HBI and 112G
USR/XSR, 112G Ethernet, DDR5/4, LPDDR5/4/4X, MIPI M-PHY,
Analog-to-Digital Converter, and one-time programmable (OTP)
non-volatile memory (NVM) IP. The DesignWare IP is optimized to
meet the high-bandwidth memory throughput and reliable,
high-performance connectivity demands of cloud computing and AI
chips implemented on GF's 12LP+ solution. This recent collaboration
marks another significant milestone of the continuous, successful
collaboration between the two companies.
GF's most advanced FinFET solution, 12LP+ builds upon GF's
established 14nm/12LP platform, of which GF has shipped more than
one million wafers. Driving the enhanced performance of 12LP+ are
features including a 20-percent SoC-level logic performance boost
over 12LP, and a 10-percent improvement in logic area scaling.
"With an excellent combination of performance, power and area,
our 12LP+ solution is engineered to meet the specific needs of HPC,
cloud and edge AI accelerators, storage, and aerospace and defense
applications," said Mark Ireland,
vice president of ecosystem and design solutions at GF. "By
collaborating with Synopsys, a leading IP provider, on the
development of a wide range of high-quality DesignWare IP optimized
on GF's 12LP + solution, we are providing greater differentiation
and increased value for our mutual customers while minimizing their
development costs and speeding their time to market. With
Die-to-Die IP, we extend the support to customers who are
transitioning to chiplet architectures and seeking a lower product
cost and added configuration flexibility."
"As a trusted IP provider, Synopsys continues to make
significant investment in collaborating with key foundries such as
GF to provide high-quality DesignWare IP on the latest process
technologies, so designers can benefit from the performance, power
and area improvements," said John
Koeter, senior vice president of marketing and strategy for
IP at Synopsys. "Our longstanding collaboration with GF through
many decades has provided designers with the industry's broadest IP
portfolio for GF technologies, including the 12LP+ solution,
enabling them to integrate the latest generation of IP required for
the fast-growing high-performance computing, AI accelerators for
cloud and Edge, as well as the storage, aerospace and defense
markets."
