Synopsys acquires nSys Design Systems
Synopsys, Inc. has completed the acquisition of nSys Design Systems Private Limited (nSys). Synopsys is increasing its investment in VIP technology to address the growing verification challenges designers face as they create more and more complex systems on chips (SoCs) to serve the demand for 'smart' electronics with this acquisition. The terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
VIP provides functional models of on- and off-chip protocols that verification engineers use to test all of the interfaces on a SoC before manufacturing. It enables the engineer to verify how an interface conforms to published standards and also allows the engineer to verify the interactions among various interfaces on a SoC.
The expanded portfolio of VIP from Synopsys will cover all of the widely used interface protocols and many emerging titles. It will also offer a new protocol compliance test-suite product line. Supported verification methodologies include VMM (verification methodology manual), OVM (open verification methodology) and UVM (universal verification methodology).
