Synopsys announces broad EDA and IP collaborations with TSMC

Synopsys (SNPS) announced broad EDA and IP collaborations with TSMC (TSM) for advanced node designs and have been deployed across a range of AI, high-performance computing, and mobile designs. Among the newest collaborations is a co-optimized Photonic IC flow, addressing the application of silicon photonics technology in the quest for better power, performance, and transistor density. Synopsys also noted the industry’s confidence in its digital and analog design flows, production-ready for TSMC N3/N3P and N2 process technologies. The two companies are collaborating on next-generation AI-driven flows, including Synopsys DSO.ai, for design productivity and optimization. In addition, Synopsys is developing a broad portfolio of Foundation and Interface IP on TSMC N2/N2P. In a related announcement today, Keysight, Synopsys, and Ansys introduced a new integrated radio frequency design migration flow from TSMC’s N16 process to its N6RF+ technology.
