Synopsys and Lattice renew OEM relationship
for FPGA synthesis software
Synopsys and Lattice Semiconductor have announced a multi-year
extension of Lattice's OEM agreement for the Synopsys Synplify
FPGA synthesis tools, which Lattice has been offering to
its customers for more than 10 years. Under the terms of
the agreement, Lattice Semiconductor will provide specific
versions of Synopsys' Synplify Pro and Synplify software
as part of its programmable logic design environments, including
the recently announced Lattice Diamond FPGA design environment.
This agreement ensures continued high-quality, reliable
and fast logic synthesis solutions for designers targeting
Lattice CPLD and FPGA products.
"Our long-standing relationship with Synplicity, and
now Synopsys, allows us to provide a complete, best-in-class,
FPGA synthesis design flow to target cost-sensitive, low
power applications," said Mike Kendrick, manager of
software product planning at Lattice. "Our strong working
relationship continues to drive the quality of results with
each product release and enables our customers to more quickly
achieve their demanding cost, performance and power goals."
"The extension of this long-standing collaboration
will allow us to continue providing our mutual customers
with optimized logic synthesis solutions for designing Lattice
FPGAs," said Jeff Garrison, director of FPGA marketing
at Synopsys. "The Synopsys Synplify and Synplify Pro
synthesis products have been optimized to take full advantage
of the unique architectural features of Lattice's programmable
logic devices and provide designers with the quality of
results and productivity required to address the needs of
their markets."
