The Synopsys ASAP™ Logic Metal Programmable Cell Libraries provide an excellent foundation for low-mask cost designs. These libraries are used in system-on-chip (SoC) designs to economically enable functional re-programmability of the system-on-chip (SoC) by changing only a few metal and via masks. The Synopsys ASAP Logic Metal Programmable Cell Library IP are most beneficial to designers looking for solutions in the following applications:

Application customized standard parts
Rapid correction of a functional implementation
Semiconductor platforms for small to medium volume IC applications
Dense design fabric for structured-ASIC solutions

High-Speed (HS) Metal Programmable Cell Library
The High-Speed Metal Programmable Cell Library offers significant savings associated with mask costs while providing similar performance to conventional standard cell libraries.

High-Density (HD) Metal Programmable Cell Library
The High-Density Metal Programmable Cell Library offers significant savings associated with mask costs while providing similar area to conventional standard cell libraries.
