System Design Solutions
FirstPass Engineering is now a part of Synopsys
The Synopsys System Design Solutions team brings 3 decades of experience and a vast first pass silicon track record built upon Synopsys’ technology leadership. System Design Solutions works closely with customers to disrupt traditional design solutions. Our partner model enables customers to meet or exceed their most stringent requirements, driving next generation subsystem and SoC innovation beyond existing architectural limits.
The System Design Solutions team Partner with customers and Ecosystem to deliver differentiated SoCs with Synopsys Platforms & Solutions. Optimized for segment-specific requirements from System Design thru silicon implementation with our System-Metric Driven Design methodologies.
New system architectures introduce new challenges in hardware/software partitioning and microarchitecture optimization. HPC, AI, and automotive segments are particularly dynamic markets where complex SoC development is getting more complex. Tight correlation between front-end design, implementation and package design are critical and require accurate performance and power modeling to meet product specifications. We offer flexible engagement models including turnkey SoC, subsystem block level and anything and everything between Spec-to-GDSII. We work closely with you to scale quality resourcing specific to your design needs.
Synopsys provides automotive consulting services for each stage of ISO-certified autonomous driving and ADAS SoC development. Our FuSa certified practitioners and technology experts deliver design and methodology services that integrate, verify, and implement your SoC with our DesignWare Automotive IP and native automotive solutions. The team works closely with foundries to expedite your tape out to the automotive-grade processes that meets your needs. We can architect your DFT methodology for safety critical blocks to diagnose if parts meet the most stringent requirements.
Improve the core of your system with our Arm SoC experts and architects by optimizing your product cost, battery life and TOPs per application. Use our Qiks for a DIY approach or leverage our solution architects and subject matter technology experts to accelerate your schedules while we ramp your team for your next generation product.
Advanced technology nodes make flow development an inevitable part of a design process. Our design methodology and flow deployment experts can help to optimize your existing flow, implement new sub-flows, or deploy a new one if needed. Our consultants have reduced months off flow-development with the LynxNXT Automation System, Synopsys’ tool automation, project reporting, and flow environment.
Our design experts can assist your team throughout the RTL-to-GDSII flow process from performing specialized tasks, working on individual blocks, to full-chip implementations. If you are migrating your design to any of the advanced FinFET process nodes, or transitioning from an ASIC handoff to a COT flow, we can assist you in achieving better results faster, avoiding common pitfalls, deploy new flows, assist in physical design, and ultimately help your team to become self-reliant. Our design experts can help in optimizing your design for PPA, close timing, perform signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal analysis.
Synopsys has built bleeding edge solutions through years of collaboration with foundry ecosystems, leading 3rd party IP providers and EDA partners. Today, we continue to expand our Solution ecosystem to support companies looking to take more control over their supply chain from SoC development to volume production.
Customer success requires the right level of partnership, first pass silicon success and supply chain ecosystems to get into volume production. That’s why our customer satisfaction rating excels across a broad range of application segments, process nodes, emerging technologies and business models.
Top-notch program and technical management are a critical key to success on complex SoCs, and Synopsys certified Program Management ensure close/transparent collaboration with Synopsys, customer and all involved parties to deliver a successful on-time SoC project.
The digital age requires designs be secure, safe and reliable with the best cost, performance and power balance possible for specific application workloads. The System Design Solutions team offers silicon proven experience including architectural modeling thru microarchitecture design, verification, power planning, implementation and sign-off. Our design teams deliver a fully optimized GDSII design and work closely with ecosystem partners, enabling them to deliver parts directly to you.
System Design Solutions engagement models have enabled clients to introduce new products utilizing our Turnkey solutions, reuse our production proven development environments to have us provide a knowledge transfer to their teams as part of our flexible collaborative project execution models. Our clients also address their peak capacity requirements with our System Design Solutions experts.
