Overview
Galaxy Custom Designer™ leverages Synopsys' Galaxy™ Design Platform to provide a unified solution for custom and digital designs, thereby enhancing system-on-chip (SoC) design efficiency and productivity. Built from the ground up, Custom Designer was architected for productivity. It is the first-ever custom implementation solution built on an open architecture supporting interoperable process design kits (PDKs) from leading foundries. Custom Designer delivers unmatched productivity with a common use model for simulation, analysis, parasitic extraction and physical verification.
