Synopsys Unveils IP OEM Partner Program with Arrow Electronics, Global Unichip and Open-Silicon
Thursday, November 20, 2008
Companies Select Synopsys DesignWare IP as Preferred Solution for SoC Designs
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synopsys, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design and
manufacturing, today announced the launch of its IP OEM partner program with
leading fabless ASIC companies and supply channel partners. Arrow Electronics,
Inc and Global Unichip Corp. (GUC) join Open-Silicon, an early adopter of the
program, as the first companies to sign multi-year agreements standardizing on
Synopsys DesignWare(R) IP for their system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Companies
are increasingly turning to fabless ASIC vendors and supply channel partners
to help build their complex SoC designs, especially at 65-nanometer (nm)
process technologies and below. To address this trend, Synopsys is partnering
with key companies to provide seamless access to high-quality DesignWare IP
such as PCI Express, USB, DDR and SATA.
Synopsys' IP OEM partner program enables participating companies to have
one central supplier for their IP needs. Synopsys' broad portfolio of
silicon-proven IP solutions have been deployed in a wide range of applications
and process technologies. By gaining easy access to this portfolio, our
partners and their end-customers can speed time-to-market and reduce the risk
for their SoC designs. Furthermore, the IP OEM program allows the partners to
focus their engineering talent on their core differentiation and not on
project-based IP procurement. The IP OEM partners will also gain access to
Synopsys' next generation of connectivity IP as it becomes available.
The IP OEM partner program extends beyond the traditional
customer/supplier relationship by providing the necessary resources and
infrastructure to help the partners deliver first-rate support to their end
customers and easily create successful designs. Specialized on-site, in-depth
product and integration training led by Synopsys engineers enables the
partners to have an unprecedented level of expertise, resulting in an enhanced
end-user experience.
"Synopsys has created a unique business model that is instrumental in
helping the supply channel efficiently deliver high-quality designs to our
customers," said Chris Miller, director of the Custom Logic Solutions Group at
Arrow Electronics. "Expanding our ecosystem to include Synopsys' leading
portfolio of silicon-proven IP enables us and our end customers to get
products to the market faster."
"As an established IP provider, Synopsys understands the need for a new
type of business model to address the growing trends towards outsourcing,"
said Keh-Ching Huang, marketing director at GUC. "Synopsys' reputation for
delivering high-quality IP that supports leading process technologies is in
line with GUC's leadership as a fabless device integrator. GUC is committed to
first-tier quality by partnering with first-tier suppliers such as Synopsys to
ensure the IP fits seamlessly into the design flow for complicated designs."
"As the leading provider of open market ASIC solutions for multiple
foundries, we have always been impressed with the quality of Synopsys' IP and
their excellent technical support," said Scott Houghton, vice-president
business development at Open-Silicon. "We've had a successful long-term
relationship with Synopsys and think this step towards working together more
closely will result in the industry's best IP integration experience and
fastest design time to market."
"By partnering with companies such as Arrow Electronics, Global Unichip
Corp. and Open-Silicon, Synopsys is demonstrating its commitment to the IP
business and its ecosystem," said John Koeter, vice president of marketing for
the solutions group at Synopsys. "This is truly a win-win situation not only
for Synopsys and our partners, but also for their customers who benefit from
high quality designs that help them bring differentiated products to the
market faster and with less risk. We are looking forward to working with our
partners to make this program a success."
