Oticon Tapes Out Innovative Hearing-Aid DSP Using Synopsys I...(nication. The new DSP's breakthrough rea...),Health

"IC Compiler's automated low-power optimization technology was instrumental in helping Oticon meet its low-power requirements, and Synopsys' Pilot Design Environment enabled them to complete their tapeout on schedule," said Antun Domic, senior vice president and general manager of Synopsys' Implementation Group. "As Oticon continues creating innovative products for their customers, it can leverage more of the advanced capabilities in IC Compiler, such as concurrent hierarchical design, for further product differentiation and faster time-to-results."

About IC Compiler

IC Compiler is Synopsys' comprehensive physical design solution. It provides superior results and faster time-to-results by extending physical synthesis to full place-and-route, and by enabling signoff-driven design closure. Older solutions have a limited horizon because placement, clock tree, and routing are separate, disjointed operations. IC Compiler's XPS technology breaks down the walls between these steps by extending physical synthesis to full place-and-route. IC Compiler has a unified, TCL-based architecture that implements innovations and harnesses some of Synopsys' best core technologies. It is a comprehensive physical design system with the features necessary to implement next-generation designs, including physical synthesis, design planning, placement, routing, timing, signal integrity (SI) optimization, power reduction, design-for-test (DFT), and yield optimization.

IC Compiler is part of the Eclypse Low Power Solution, which is a comprehensive alignment of low power design and verification technologies, IP, methodologies and services built on industry standards.
