Synopsys Automotive Solution
Did you know that Synopsys offers a complete automotive electronics design solution addressing the needs from systems to silicon? Come visit us at our booth to talk to a technical specialist and see product demonstrations for the following areas.

Mechatronic Design – Saber
The Saber® simulator addresses mechatronic complexity by accelerating Robust Design. Results for OEMs and suppliers include optimizing systems for performance, reliability, and cost; reducing the effects of variation; and using repeatable processes to create 1,000s of virtual prototypes. Applications include power distribution & management, in-vehicle networking, powertrain, engine control, braking & safety systems, wire harness design, and hybrid-electric vehicle design and control.

Embedded Software – Innovator
Virtual platforms are effective for accelerating software development to the pre-silicon phase. Synopsys’ Innovator provides an integrated SystemC development environment for assembling transaction-level virtual platforms using models from various sources as well as newly created ones. Combined with Synopsys services and the DesignWare® System-level Library of ready-to-use TLMs (transaction-level models) and pre-assembled reference platforms, Innovator improves overall design productivity by enabling concurrent hardware and software development prior to silicon availability.

FPGA Implementation & ASIC Prototyping – Synplify DSP, Synplify PRO, HAPS
Synopsys’ Synplicity Group leverages its many years of experience to deliver high-quality, high-performance, easy to use and technology-independent FPGA implementation and ASIC prototyping solutions. These solutions provide FPGA designers with the fastest time-to-results for complex FPGAs, multi-vendor support, area and cost optimization, powerful design analysis and RTL debug, and very broad 3rd party IP support.

PCB Design – Zuken CR-5000 (Synopsys Partner)
CR-5000 is Zuken’s most advanced modular and robust design suite for electronic systems and PCBs. Created to manage the complete development and manufacturing preparation process on an enterprise-wide scale, it was developed specifically for medium to large organizations. CR-5000 offers highly sophisticated functionality for the design of multi-layer and high-speed boards, addressing design challenges such as signal integrity and EMC, while ensuring manufacturability.
