Industry Leading Productivity
Synopsys IC Validator? physical verification high-performance signoff solution improves productivity for customers at all process nodes, from mature to advanced. Synopsys IC Validator offers the industry¡¯s best distributed processing scalability to over 4,000 CPU cores. The tool¡¯s performance and scalability enabled some of the industry¡¯s largest reticle limit chips with billions of transistors, same-day design rule checking (DRC), layout versus schematic (LVS), and fill turnaround time.
IC Validator is seamlessly integrated with the Synopsys Fusion Compiler? RTL-to-GDSII solution and IC Compiler? II place and route system in the Synopsys Digital Design Family. This integrated fusion technology accelerates design closure for manufacturing by enabling independent signoff-quality analysis and automatic repair within the implementation environment.
