The Confirma™ platform is a comprehensive suite of tightly-integrated, easy to use products for rapid prototyping that includes FPGA-based prototyping sytems and boards, interface and memory boards, and implementation and debug software. The Confirma platform dramatically accelerates functional verification of ASIC. ASSP and SoC designs and is ideal for ASIC/ASSP design and verification teams who leverage FPGA-based prototypes to improve their time-to-market and avoid costly device respins. The Confirma platform helps design teams to find even the hardest-to-find hardware bugs, start software development earlier in the design cycle and integrate hardware and software well ahead of chip fabrication.

Certify ASIC prototyping solution is the leading product for ASIC prototyping using multiple FPGAs. Certify software combines RTL multi-chip partitioning with best-in-class FPGA synthesis. Using the Certify product makes ASIC prototyping significantly easier, shortens prototype development time, improves prototype performance, and enables faster time-to-market. More information...

The Synplify Premier solution builds upon Synplicity's industry-leading synthesis technology and adds new graph-based physical synthesis and real-time, simulator-like visibility into operating FPGA devices. Graph-based physical synthesis provides rapid timing closure and up to a 5-20% timing improvement. Once timing is met, synthesis algorithms focus on area optimization, which can improve circuit performance up to an additional 20% Quality of Results. Synplify Premier is fully compatible with industry-leading ASIC synthesis tools, allowing you to quickly retarget your FPGA prototype design to an ASIC. More information...

The Identify Pro software, featuring Synplicity’s TotalRecall™ technology, provides designers with full visibility into complex FPGA and FPGA-based ASIC prototypes enabling them to find bugs at hardware speed and debug the cause of error in a familiar simulation environment. Identify Pro software works complementary to other verification methodologies, such as assertion-based verification and simulation significantly improving the overall productivity.

Synplicity's High-performance ASIC Prototyping System (HAPS) is a high performance and high capacity FPGA based system for ASIC and ASSP prototyping. HAPS is a modular system with multi-FPGA motherboards and standard or custom-made daughter boards, which can be stacked together in a variety of ways. Some of the functions available on standard daughter boards are video processing, various memory types, and interfaces to Ethernet, USB, PCI Express, PCI-X and ARM. The robust and reliable hardware, together with the modular approach, allows the designer to concentrate on the actual ASIC design, which will shorten the verification time by months.
