DEMO DESCRIPTIONS:

DesignWare DDR PHY Compiler

Synopsys' DesignWare DDR PHY Compiler demonstration will show how to optimize a DDR PHY for pinout, area and performance. In addition, we will highlight several features of the DesignWare DDR3/2 PHY IP in 40nm technology as it achieves speeds up to 1600Mbps utilizing Synopsys' characterization platform.

DesignWare HDMI 1.4 Tx and RX IP

HDMI is gaining significant traction in delivering 3D functionality in digital home theater systems, gaming consoles and other portable multimedia devices. The Synopsys DesignWare HDMI 1.4 IP supports the latest HDMI 1.4a specification, including various 3D formats. This demonstration will show how Synopsys' silicon-proven HDMI 1.4 IP will deliver 3D content to a high resolution display.

Synplify FPGA Design Tools

In this demonstration we will address key challenges faced by today's FPGA designers such as fast timing closure for demanding applications, timing-driven synthesis for cost reduction and incremental design flows. New hierarchical design capability for supporting distributed development, IP integration and reuse will be highlighted along with new technology for dynamic power reduction.

HAPS FPGA-Based Prototyping Solution

Synopsys' FPGA-based prototyping solutions enable pre-silicon software development and hardware/software co-verification of complete systems at near real-time operating speeds using real-world interfaces. We will demonstrate the new UMRBus for the HAPS-60 series which delivers programmability and flexibility without compromising "at-speed" system performance.

HSPICE Precision Parallel Technology

With up to 7X speed up on eight cores, 10-million-element capacity, comprehensive analysis and out-of-the-box convergence, analog design teams can use HSPICE Precision Parallel technology to accelerate verification of circuits across process corners and minimize the risk of missing project timelines and silicon respins. See how HSPICE can improve analog designers' productivity through superior performance and accuracy andtight integration with Galaxy Custom Designer ® .

HSPICE Statistical Eye Diagram Analysis

Analysis of high-speed serial interfaces requires processing of millions of bits of data. Using traditional transient analysis to evaluate eye diagrams and bit error rates (BER) leads to impractically long simulation times. Synopsys will show how the HSPICE statistical eye diagram feature can evaluate eye diagrams and bit error rate quickly and accurately. We will also demonstrate statistical setup, input syntax and outputs.
