Synplicity Extends Leadership Position in the FPGA Synthesis Market; Latest Data Makes Synplicity the FPGA Synthesis Market Share Leader for the Fifth Consecutive Year
According to Gartner, Synplicity's share of the FPGA synthesis market has grown from 45 percent in 2000 to 67 percent in 2004. Synplicity attributes this rapid growth to its emphasis on product innovation, quality of results, close relationships with the silicon vendors, its focus on customer satisfaction, and its direct worldwide sales and application engineering teams.
"With today's FPGAs rapidly increasing in size and complexity, a premium is placed on advanced tools that enable design teams to quickly deliver outstanding results," said Gary Meyers, president and CEO of Synplicity. "Through our long-standing and close partnerships with the silicon vendors, we provide our customers with leading-edge design solutions. This, combined with our consistent delivery of innovative solutions that accelerate our customers' time to market and our investment in a worldwide direct channel that understands the challenges our customers face, allows us to establish and maintain our dominant position in the FPGA synthesis market. Moving forward, we expect the overall FPGA market to continue to grow and believe we are well positioned to meet the increased demand for tools that enable designers to meet their cost, time-to-market and performance goals."
Dataquest's annual market share and forecast report titled, "Market Trends: Electronic Design Automation, Worldwide, 2005,"(1) was compiled using a variety of data sources including Gartner's research, EDA vendor-submitted responses and detailed end-user surveys. Synplicity's leadership position was based on 2004 license and maintenance revenues for Synplicity's FPGA synthesis products including Synplify(R), Synplify Pro(R) and Amplify(R) FPGA synthesis solutions.
About Synplicity's FPGA Synthesis Solutions
Synplicity's FPGA synthesis solutions help programmable logic designers rapidly achieve aggressive performance objectives. The software takes designs written in VHDL or Verilog as input, and compiles, optimizes and maps them into efficient, high-performance netlists for all leading CPLD and FPGA devices. Synplicity's family of FPGA synthesis solutions includes the Synplify software, Synplify Pro logic synthesis software and the Synplify Premier physical synthesis software. The Synplify Pro software is the industry's most widely used FPGA synthesis solution, utilizing a true timing-driven approach to synthesis. The software delivers the performance needed to meet a design's timing requirements and then optimizes the circuit for area, saving significantly on chip cost. The Synplify Premier solution builds upon Synplicity's industry-leading synthesis technology and adds new graph-based physical synthesis and real-time, simulator-like visibility into operating FPGA devices. Graph-based physical synthesis provides rapid timing closure and a 5-20 percent timing improvement.
