Synopsys Platform Helps Nanya Accelerate Next-gen Memory Design

Article By : Synopsys Inc.

Nanya Technology has selected Synopsys Custom Design Platform to accelerate design of next-generation memories for mobile, automotive, consumer, and industrial markets.

Nanya Technology has adopted Synopsys Inc.’s Custom Design Platform to accelerate the design of advanced memories for leading applications across several high-growth markets, including mobile, automotive, consumer and industrial. Nanya replaced its existing memory design flow with the tightly integrated Synopsys solution to streamline their design process and improve overall productivity.

“We selected Synopsys as our EDA vendor of choice to help us accelerate our memory solutions for the mobile, automotive, consumer and industrial markets. We migrated from our incumbent solution as it was cumbersome, requiring us to write and maintain our own utilities and scripts. This was not cost-effective,” said Dr. Pei-Ing Lee, CEO of Nanya Technology. “The Synopsys Custom Design Platform solutions provided a streamlined memory design flow that was easy to use and delivered immediate better overall design productivity.”

Nanya design teams address critical memory design challenges by utilizing Synopsys’ end-to-end solutions, enabling a shift-left approach across the memory design flow. Nanya’s decision to migrate from its legacy design tools to Synopsys’ Custom Compiler design and layout environment and PrimeSim Continuum simulation solution including the integration of VCS simulator for mixed-signal verification was based on key criteria, including Synopsys’ effective schematic-driven layout, early reliability and test awareness and industry-leading simulation engines.

“Synopsys continues to deliver innovative solutions and reference flows enabling design teams to target high-growth application markets,” said Aveek Sarkar, vice president of engineering at Synopsys. “Customers are moving to Synopsys Custom Design Platform at an accelerated pace, driven by the need to produce results faster than possible with legacy design tools. Our collaboration with Nanya Technology enables their teams to maximize designer productivity and complete designs faster.”

Additional components of the Custom Design Platform include StarRC parasitic extraction tools and the IC Validator physical verification solution.
