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.
