Custom Compiler

Synopsys Custom Compiler™, enabled with Synopsys Multiphysics Fusion™ capabilities, is a modern design environment for full-custom analog, custom digital, RF, and mixed-signal IC design. At the heart of the Synopsys Custom Design Family, it delivers design entry, simulation management, analysis, and custom layout editing, while integrating electromagnetic and multiphysics insights directly into the analog design flow. By unifying trusted custom design workflows with signoff-accurate multiphysics analysis, Custom Compiler enables engineers to evaluate electrical, electromagnetic, thermal, and parasitic effects earlier, improving design predictability, accelerating convergence, and increasing confidence in silicon success.

The Custom Compiler design environment includes features for mixed-signal design entry, design debug, simulation management, analysis, and reporting. For layout, it provides fast, user-friendly polygon editing and pioneering visually assisted automation that delivers 2-10X higher productivity, especially for advanced-node FinFET designs. Built-in verification capabilities, including design rule checking, electromigration analysis, and parasitic extraction, help identify physical and electrical issues early in the design process.

With electromagnetic and multiphysics insight embedded throughout the design flow, engineers can perform passive device synthesis, implementation, verification, and silicon-to-system-aware analysis within a unified environment. Integrated multiphysics HFSS-IC analysis helps safeguard designs against unwanted electromagnetic effects and parasitics, while enabling earlier evaluation of critical structures and reducing manual handoffs between design stages. This unified approach helps accelerate design decisions and achieve faster, more predictable analog design closure for analog, RF, high-speed, and mixed-signal applications.

The Custom Compiler design environment makes it easy to communicate design intent and achieve analog design closure with support for templates, early parasitic simulation, and multiphysics-aware analysis.
