News Release from: Synplicity Inc.
11/03/2008

Synplicity Inc. has confirmed new product capabilities, widespread customer adoption and increased demand for its Confirma ASIC/ASSP Verification Platform. Since the introduction of the Confirma Platform just six months ago, Synplicity has received over one hundred orders with leading electronics companies worldwide, including the BBC, and has received dozens of positive reports from global design teams who have shaved months off their design times.

Additionally, the company’s Certify tool, the de facto standard for multi-FPGA partitioning and implementation and a key element in the Confirma Platform, has experienced its biggest year over year revenue gain since its introduction and its best year ever in 2007. This overwhelming response is a great endorsement for the Confirma Platform as a viable new verification methodology, and also validates the trend towards hardware-assisted verification for the successful delivery of today’s complex ASIC and ASSP designs.

Confirma is the industry’s only complete prototyping solution combining best-in-class hardware and software tools in a tightly integrated, easy-to-use environment helping customers overcome their toughest ASIC verification challenges. In addition to the Certify tool, the Confirma Platform includes Synplicity’s Identify Pro software with TotalRecall technology providing full visibility into the design under test. Confirma also includes the company’s HAPS™ High-performance ASIC Prototyping System™; the most flexible prototyping boards on the market today as used by leading Electronics organizations such as CSR. Synplicity continually updates the Confirma Platform with tighter integration and new product capabilities for a seamless transition and implementation of ASIC designs into the Confirma at-speed verification platform.
