Synopsys Strengths, Domain Expertise, and Key Differentiators
Synopsys, Inc. provides products and services used across the entire Silicon to Software spectrum to bring Smart Everything to life. From engineers creating advanced semiconductors to product teams developing advanced electronic systems to software developers seeking to ensure the security and quality of their code, Synopsys customers trust that their technologies will enable them to meet new requirements for low power as well as reliability, mobility, and security.
Synopsys are supplying the electronic design automation (EDA) software that engineers use to design and test integrated circuits (ICs), also known as chips. Synopsys also offer semiconductor intellectual property (IP) products, which are pre-designed circuits that engineers use as components of larger chip designs rather than designing those circuits themselves. Synopsys provides software and hardware used to validate the electronic systems that incorporate chips and the software that runs on them. To complement these offerings, Synopsys provides technical services and support to help their customers develop advanced chips and electronic systems. These products and services are part of their Semiconductor & System Design segment. Synopsys are also a provider of software tools and services that improve the security, quality and compliance of software in a wide variety of industries, including electronics, financial services, automotive, medicine, energy and industrials. These tools and services are part of their Software Integrity segment.

The 4LPP process, which is available now, represents the latest implementation of Samsung Foundry's unique FinFET technology, which delivers chip density, performance and power advantages for SoCs fueling some of today's most in-demand applications, including high-performance computing, AI, and 5G infrastructure.
In September 2019, Infineon Technologies AG and Synopsys has partnered together to support AI-driven solutions with future automotive microcontrollers. Next-generation AURIX microcontrollers from Infineon will integrate a new high-performance AI accelerator called Parallel Processing Unit (PPU) that will employ Synopsys' DesignWare ARC EV Processor IP. AI and neural networks are fundamental building blocks for future automated driving applications, such as object classification, target tracking, or path planning.
Furthermore, they play an important role in optimizing many other automotive applications, helping to reduce the cost of ECU systems, improving their performance, and accelerating time-to-market. For example, they enable an optimized engine auto-calibration and reduce the number of sensors by producing accurate mathematical models of the physical reactions occurring in a system. At the same time, however, AI applications require much higher computing power than standard algorithms.
Acquisitions are an important part of its growth strategy. Synopsys has completed a significant number of acquisitions in recent years and expects to make additional acquisitions in the future
