Customer Quotes/Success Stories

  • "Synplify absolutely outperforms any other synthesis product!"

Lorne Smith, Northern Telecom (Xilinx user)

  • "We were having problems with our other synthesis tool. We synthesized everything with Synplify, and the first time we were able to download into the FPGA and have the chip work as we expected it would. The thing I really liked about the Synplify synthesizer was that I didn't have to understand everything about the Xilinx chip to get full functionality. It understood how to use the global clocks and it used them automatically on the proper signals, it knew how to use the GSR, and the really neat thing was that when it synthesized, it synthesized directly into Xilinx CLBs. The old synthesizer I had been using synthesized into generic logic gates, then remapped into Xilinx CLBs, and as such didn't use the Xilinx architecture efficiently at all. This wasn't the case with the Synplify synthesizer, it gave us a very good build."

Jerry Mitchell, Design Engineer, Silicon Gaming, Inc. (Verilog and Xilinx user)

  • "Even though Synplify is fast, it still has a better fit most of the time than any of the competitors, so even though we have licenses for two of Synplicity's main competitors on the market, I haven't been using these licenses for the last six months probably, unless I wanted to benchmark and verify that Synplicity is still doing better than the other ones."

Christophe Metivier, Member of Technical Staff, Granite Systems, Inc. (Verilog and Xilinx user)
