Synopsys Drives Chip Innovation for Next-Generation Mobile and HPC Designs on TSMC N3E and N4P Processes

Synopsys Digital and Custom Design Flows Certified for TSMC N3E and N4P Processes and Broad Synopsys IP Portfolio Available Now

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Helping customers optimize performance, power and area (PPA) for next-generation system-on-chips (SoCs) used in demanding mobile and high-performance computing applications, Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that TSMC has certified the Synopsys digital and custom design flows for its industry-leading N3E and N4P process technologies. In addition, Synopsys’ leading Foundation IP and Interface IP are available now on the TSMC N3E and N4P processes to accelerate SoC development and minimize design risk. Adopted by leading customers, the digital and custom design flows and IP are based on the latest versions of TSMC’s design rule manual (DRM) and process design kits (PDKs).

“TSMC and Synopsys have successfully collaborated for decades, with the shared goal of helping our mutual customers meet the aggressive PPA demands of increasingly complex SoCs,” said Suk Lee, vice president of the Design Infrastructure Management Division at TSMC. “By enabling Synopsys’ design solutions on TSMC’s high-performing and power-efficient N3E and N4P processes, customers can produce innovative, advanced chips for a variety of demanding, compute-intensive applications.”
