Infineon Technologies Selects Synopsys Galaxy Implementation Platform
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, announced that the Galaxy[tm] Implementation Platform has helped Infineon Technologies AG (NYSE: IFX) achieve first-pass silicon success of the 40-nanometer (nm) baseband processor for its X-GOLD[tm] 626 3G wireless analog and digital system-in-package (SIP). Infineon utilized the Galaxy platform’s powerful implementation flow to optimize the chip’s multiple functional modes with multi-corner/multi-mode (MCMM) technology, taking advantage of the links between Synopsys’ Design Compiler® RTL synthesis solution and IC Compiler placement and routing. The Galaxy platform’s extensive support for low power and hierarchical design techniques, coupled with its signoff capabilities, was essential to achieve Infineon’s tight schedule and high-performance, low power and area goals. As a result, Infineon met its design targets and taped out the baseband processor for the X-GOLD 626 wireless product ahead of schedule.
