Synopsys' DFT Compiler Receives Best in Test Award From Test & Measurement World Magazine
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 2001--
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS), the technology leader for complex IC
design, today announced that the company's DFT Compiler product has
been selected by editors at Test & Measurement World Magazine to
receive the publication's ``Best in Test'' Award for 2001. The Best in
Test Awards are presented annually by Test & Measurement World editors
to honor important and innovative new products in the electronics test
and measurement industry. DFT Compiler is the second test product from
Synopsys to receive this award. Last year, the company's TetraMAX(TM)
ATPG solution won a Best in Test Award for 2000.
According to Roy W. Forsberg, VP/Publisher of Test & Measurement
World magazine, ``Once again Synopsys has provided the electronics test
industry with an innovative product that helps design engineers
overcome their test challenges in the early stages of the IC design
process. We encourage the company to keep up the good work and are
pleased to include the DFT Compiler as a 2001 Best in Test Product.''
``We are very happy to be recognized yet again for our work in the
design-for-test arena,'' said Bijan Kiani, vice president of marketing
for Synopsys' Nanometer Analysis and Test Business Unit. ``We believe
this award also reflects the importance of DFT as a key element for
the successful design of next generation ICs. As semiconductor devices
become more complex and expensive to build and manufacture, it will be
much more cost-effective to design test into the front end of the
design cycle rather than at the back end where finding design flaws
can consume expensive tester time.''
