Fujitsu Semiconductor Selects Cynthesizer Software for 40 nm ASIC Reference Flow

Forte Design Systems announced today that Cynthesizer™ high-level synthesis software has been selected for use in Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited's application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) Reference Flow for the new 40-nanometer (nm) process technologies, along with 90- and 65nm.

"Forte continues to prove its value as a provider of high-level synthesis," remarks Takashi Hasegawa, general manager, SoC Solutions Division, Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited. "Cynthesizer met or exceeded our stringent requirements, giving internal and external design teams a SystemC-based, high-level synthesis tool for register transfer level sign off."

Cynthesizer was selected after extensive testing using the advanced process technology of a 40nm library to ensure high quality of results. It is available to internal and external design teams worldwide for functional validation and timing for hand-off examples. Forte and Fujitsu Semiconductor will jointly develop the high-level synthesis library for the latest technology.

"It gives us a great deal of pleasure to be working with Fujitsu Semiconductor, a company with forward-thinking initiatives," says Sean Dart, president and chief executive officer of Forte Design Systems. "Fujitsu Semiconductor recognized early on that in order to improve time to market and design quality, it needed to deploy a SystemC-based high-level synthesis tool like Cynthesizer."
