Synopsys Joins Chip Estimate's Prime IP Partner Program
Participation Enables Designers to Easily Access Information on Synopsys' Comprehensive, High Quality DesignWare IP Portfolio
CUPERTINO, Calif. - December 12, 2007 Chip Estimate Corp. announced today that Synopsys, a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design and manufacturing, has joined the Chip Estimate Prime IP Partner Program. As a Prime IP Partner, Synopsys is enabling designers to gain centralized access to information about the company's broad DesignWare(r) semiconductor intellectual property (IP) portfolio, at ChipEstimate.com(tm). Synopsys, a leading provider of connectivity IP, offers the industry's most comprehensive IP solutions consisting of synthesizable digital controllers, mixed-signal PHY IP and verification IP for popular protocols such as USB, PCI Express, DDR, SATA and Ethernet. The broad, silicon-proven IP portfolio, combined with comprehensive technical support, helps enable designers to accelerate time-to-market and reduce integration risk for system-on-chip (SoC) designs.
ChipEstimate.com was launched in 2005 to provide comprehensive chip planning capabilities to the electronics and semiconductor design communities. In addition to the comprehensive IP catalog, designers can use the InCyte(tm) software available through the ChipEstimate.com website to plan their next chip designs and explore die size, power, leakage and cost tradeoffs. Through the portal, designers may now search for Synopsys' comprehensive DesignWare IP portfolio and consider it in chip estimations.
"Since joining the program, Synopsys has consistently been on top of the list in terms of page views," said John Koeter, senior director of marketing for IP and Services at Synopsys. "We are looking forward to being a part of a program that enables designers to gain access to the information they need to make the right IP purchasing decisions."
"The addition of Synopsys' leading DesignWare IP portfolio is a significant enhancement to the ChipEstimate.com IP catalog," commented Sean O'Kane, vice president of Business Development for Chip Estimate. "We are pleased to have them in our Prime IP Partner program."
