Synopsys DesignWare IP Achieves Broad Industry Adoption with Multiple First-Pass Customer Silicon Successes on TSMC's N5 Process

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that its broad DesignWare® Interface, Logic Library, Embedded Memory and PVT monitor IP solutions have enabled customers to achieve multiple first-pass silicon successes on TSMC's N5 process, across more than 20 leading semiconductor companies. Companies have selected the DesignWare IP solutions to meet the stringent power, performance and area (PPA) requirements for their advanced automotive ADAS and infotainment, AI accelerator, server, networking and mobile system-on-chip (SoC) designs. By achieving broad adoption of its DesignWare IP and VC Verification IP with multiple customer silicon successes, Synopsys enables designers to integrate the IP with confidence and significantly lower SoC integration risk.

"TSMC's close collaboration with Synopsys, our long-standing ecosystem partner, enables our mutual customers to benefit from a broad portfolio of high-quality IP on TSMC's advanced process technologies," said Suk Lee, vice president of the Design Infrastructure Management Division at TSMC. "Synopsys' DesignWare IP on TSMC's N5 process, the most advanced foundry solution available with the best PPA, allows designers to quickly deliver differentiated products and ramp to volume production, while fully benefiting from the advanced process."

"Synopsys has collaborated with TSMC for decades to deliver feature-rich, silicon-proven IP that enables designers to meet the data intensive demands of automotive, high-performance computing and AI designs on TSMC's most advanced processes including N5 with a strong roadmap for N3," said John Koeter, senior vice president of Marketing and Strategy for IP at Synopsys. "The broad adoption of our DesignWare IP portfolio on TSMC's N5 process demonstrates our customers' continued trust in Synopsys' IP, enabling them to reduce integration risk and get their products to market faster."

Synopsys' broad DesignWare IP portfolio includes logic libraries, embedded memories, IOs, PVT monitors, embedded test, analog IP, interface IP, security IP, embedded processors and subsystems.
