Synplicity Inc. (Nasdaq: SYNP) is a leading supplier of innovative software and hardware solutions for the design and verification of semiconductors that serve a wide range of communications, military/aerospace, consumer, semiconductor, computer, and other electronic systems markets. Synplicity's FPGA implementation tools provide outstanding performance, cost and time-to-market benefits by simplifying, improving and automating design planning, logic synthesis and physical synthesis for FPGA and DSP designs. The combination of the company's ASIC verification and FPGA-based prototyping software tools and HAPS ASIC prototyping hardware, provide designers with a comprehensive At-SpeedT ASIC / ASSP verification flow known as the ConfirmaT platform which dramatically accelerates functional verification of FPGAs and ASICs. Synplicity is the number one supplier of FPGA synthesis tools and its physical synthesis and ASIC verification technology are the recipients of several prestigious industry awards. Synplicity products support industry-standard design languages (VHDL and Verilog) and run on popular platforms. The company operates in over 20 facilities worldwide and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.

Synplicity products offer many benefits:

1) Higher performing designs

2) Area reduction resulting in significant cost savings Higher levels of automation shortening design and verification time Synthesis runtimes that are significantly faster than other tools Efficient handling of very large complex designs

3) True physical synthesis solving the deep submicron timing closure problem Design portability - Synplicity products enable easy design migration and provide best quality of results across FPGAs and FPGA-based prototype platforms

4) Built of proven proprietary Behavior Extracting Synthesis Technology (BESTT)

5) Easy to learn and use
