For more than 25 years, Synopsys has been at the heart of accelerating electronics innovation with engineers around the world having used Synopsys technology to successfully design and create billions of chips and systems. Without this technology, the complex designs of today would not be possible. This technology provided an exponential leap in integrated circuit (IC) design productivity by allowing engineers to specify chip functionality at a higher level of abstraction. The company pioneered the commercial application of logic synthesis that has since been adopted by every major semiconductor design company in the world. In order to preserve the full history of these acquisitions, we have included the history across these three business units. Aart de Geus and a team of engineers from General Electric’s Microelectronics Center in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, Synopsys was first established as “Optimal Solutions” with a charter to develop and market ground-breaking synthesis technology developed by the team at General Electric. Synopsys has three primary areas of business including silicon design and verification, silicon intellectual property, and software integrity. The buyout also adds a team of experienced engineers. The acquisition is likely to broaden Synopsys’ industry-leading process control solutions with adaptive intelligence capabilities required by semiconductor fabs for enhancing manufacturing quality and efficiency. Synopsyss revenue was reported to be 3.69 b in FY, 2020 which is a 9.7 increase from the previous period. These technology-leading solutions help give Synopsys customers a competitive edge in quickly bringing the best products to market while reducing costs and schedule risk. Synopsys stated that the purchase isn’t material to its financials. Revenues Net Income Gross profit margin FY, 2018 FY, 2019 FY, 2020 0 1.5 b 3 b 4.5 b 75.2 76.8 78.4 80. As a leader in electronic design automation (EDA) and semiconductor intellectual property (IP), Synopsys’ comprehensive, integrated portfolio of system-level, IP, implementation, verification, manufacturing, optical and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) solutions help address the key challenges designers face such as power and yield management, system-to-silicon verification and time-to-results.
