Synopsys Settles with Mentor, Agrees to Collaboration

EDA heavyweights Synopsys and Mentor Graphics agreed to settle a long-running emulation patent litigation as part of a collaboration deal between Synopsys and Mentor's parent company, Siemens PLM Software.

The settlement agreement includes a seven-year patent cross-licensing agreement between Synopsys and Mentor. It presumably brings to an end a long-running battle over emulation technology that began between Mentor and EVE SA, a French emulation firm that Synopsys acquired in 2012. As recently as last year, an appeals court upheld a  $36 million jury verdict in favor of Mentor in the case.

More broadly, the deal between Synopsys and Siemens includes collaboration on a range of EDA product interoperability projects for the benefit of mutual customers, spanning applications from design to verification.

“With the increasing complexity in electronics driven by AI, automotive, industrial and other high-impact markets, semiconductor and systems companies are grappling with design challenges from the roots of silicon all the way up to the application software,” said Aart de Geus, Synopsys chairman and co-CEO, in a press statement.

"Interoperability is a critical aspect of enabling customers not only in EDA but in the broader context of system development,” said Tony Hemmelgarn, CEO of Siemens PLM Software.

Synopsys Buys IP Vendor Kilopass

　　EDA and IP vendor Synopsys continued to build its intellectual property portfolio through acquisition, purchasing non-volatile memory IP vendor Kilopass for an undisclosed sum.　　San Jose, Calif.-based Kilopass, founded in 2001, is a pioneer in one-time programmable non-volatile memory IP. Synopsys(Mountain View, Calif.) said the addition of Kilopass would compliment its existing non-volatile memory IP portfolio for automotive, IoT, industrial and mobile applications.　　The deal marks the fourth significant IP vendor acquisition in the past three years for Synopsys, the second-leading provider of IP behind Arm Holdings. Synopsys acquired Sidesense Corp. last year and acquired both Silicon Vision and Elliptic Technologies in 2015.　　Twenty-six of Kilopass's roughly 50 employees will join Synopsys as part of the acquisition, a spokeswoman for Synopsys said. Some of the remaining workers will move to a portion of Kilopass that the company spun off prior to the acquisition, the spokeswoman said.　　Kilopass's anti-fuse based one-transistor and two-transistor bitcell non-volatile memory IP is available in a broad range of standard CMOS processes including 10nm and 7nm, optimized for fuse replacement, secure key storage, device ID, analog trim, and code storage. The IPs support ultra-low-power non-volatile memory requirements for code storage and include high-density NVM to reduce costs compared to ROM or embedded flash.　　Synopsys said the Kilopass IP would compliment its existing DesignWare one-time and multiple-time programmable non-volatile memory IP with support for up to 4-Mbit one-time programmable instances in 180-nm to 7-nm process technologies.　　Joachim Kunkel, general manager of the Solutions Group at Synopsys, said in a press statement that the combined IP portfolio "meets market demands for increased integration, higher densities, lower costs, better reliability and improved security."

Synopsys to Pay $565 Million for Security Software Firm

　　EDA and IP vendor Synopsys said it would pay about $565 million to acquire Black Duck Software, a Massachusetts-based provider of technology for securing and managing open source software.　　Synopsys (Mountain View, Calif.) said the move would broaden its product offering and expand its customer reach in the software security market.　　"Development processes continue to evolve and accelerate, and the addition of Black Duck will strengthen our ability to push security and quality testing throughout the software development lifecycle, reducing risk for our customers," said Andreas Kuehlmann, senior vice president and general manager of Synopsys' Software Integrity Group, in a press statement.　　The deal is worth about $548 million net of cash acquired on Black Duck's books, Synopsys said. It is subject customary closing conditions, including regulatory review, the company added.

Synopsys Buys Materials Modeling Tool Firm QuantumWise

　　EDA and IP vendor Synopsys Inc. has acquired QuantumWise, a provider of simulation tools for materials modeling in early manufacturing process development. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.　　Synopsys (Mountain View, Calif.) said the deal would help it support chip makers, which are evaluating new materials to extend Moore's law and develop novel memories. Synopsys said the QuantumWise solution reduces time and cost by enabling earlier co-optimization of materials, processes, devices and circuits for 5nm and beyond.　　QuantumWise, founded in 2008, in based in Denkark. The company claims more than 400 commercial and academic customers worldwide for its tools for atomic-scale modeling of materials.　　The QuantumWise tools simulate the properties of materials based on fundamental quantum mechanical theories to improve product performance across many applications, including semiconductors and electronics.　　Howard Ko, general manager of Synopsys' Silicon Engineering Group, said through a press statement that the company has worked closely with customers over the past year to define links between Synopsys' Sentaurus TCAD tools and the atomistic modeling of materials with the QuantumWise tools. Integration between the two provides seamless flow from materials to transistor by creating models for TCAD process and device simulation, according to Synopsys.　　"This acquisition now gives us the opportunity to accelerate the application of this critical technology to address the challenges in technology development of advanced process nodes," Ko said.

Synopsys Teams With SMIC, Brite Semi on IoT Platform

　　EDA and IP vendor Synopsys Inc.has partnered with Chinese foundry Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.(SMIC)and ASIC design services specialist Brite Semiconductor to create a platform for Internet of Things(IoT)designs based on a Synopsys IP subsystem.　　The IoT platform lowers design costs by providing customers with a starting point for creating IoT designs and enables the integration of customized functions on demand,the companies said.　　The platform includes Synopsys'DesignWare ARC Data Fusion Subsystem along with an ARC EM9D processor,USB and I3C IP solutions,according to the companies.It was integrated by Brite Semi's design services using SMIC's 55-nm ultra-low power process,resulting in the development of a test chip demonstrating up to 45 percent reduction in dynamic power and 70 percent reduction in leakage power compared to SMIC's 55LL process,they said.　　Synopsys'ARC Data Fusion IP Subsystem is a pre-verified hardware and software IP product optimized for use in devices requiring minimal energy consumption.Tightly coupled interface peripherals,including pulse density modulation and I2S combined with the included audio processing software library simplify the implementation of voice and speech functionality in a range of applications,according to Synopsys(Mountain View,Calif.).
