Real Intent Joins Synopsys in-Sync Program

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – July 8, 2013 – Real Intent, Inc., a leading provider of EDA advanced sign-off verification solutions, today announced it has joined the Synopsys in-Sync™ program for two of its flows – the Synopsys VCS® Verilog simulator tie-in to Real Intent’s Ascent™ and Meridian™ products; and the Synopsys HDL Compiler™ tool flow tie-in to its Meridian products.

“Since our beginning, Synopsys has advanced tool interoperability via standards organizations and our own programs including in-Sync,” said Karen Bartleson, senior director of Community Marketing at Synopsys, Inc. “By joining in-Sync, Real Intent can work with us in verification and synthesis to help our mutual customers meet their stringent design flow requirements.”

CDC analysis and verification are vital at both the pre- and post-synthesis stages of design to ensure against signal metastability. Correct and complete CDC analysis and verification require a clean and correct SDC file that is also used in the synthesis, and timing analysis steps. The Meridian flow with HDL Compiler ensures compatibility for SDC files.  The tie-in of VCS to Ascent and Meridian products provides dynamic verification of both X-propagation and metastability issues.

Graham Bell, vice president of Marketing at Real Intent said, “Our solutions play well with others in the industry, and we are especially pleased to become a member of Synopsys’ in-Sync Program. Our membership provides access to Synopsys’ market-leading verification and synthesis technologies to ensure interoperability, and brings time and cost efficiencies to our mutual customers who now can take advantage of a proven and qualified design flow.”

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
