Synopsys, Inc.
"Accelerating Innovation Through Pervasive Intelligence."
Sunnyvale, California electronic design automation company founded 1986, listed on Nasdaq (SNPS); acquired simulation firm Ansys in July 2025.
Synopsys, Inc. is an electronic design automation (EDA) company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, listed on Nasdaq under ticker SNPS. It reports trailing-twelve-month revenue of roughly 9 billion dollars and about 28,000 employees, and completed its acquisition of simulation software company Ansys in July 2025.
Synopsys provides the software, semiconductor intellectual property, and verification hardware used to design, verify, and manufacture integrated circuits, including chips used in robotics processors, vision accelerators, motor controllers, and sensor-fusion systems. Its Fusion Compiler platform handles RTL-to-GDSII physical implementation with the DSO.ai engine applying reinforcement learning to chip power, performance, and area tradeoffs, while VCS and the Verdi platform cover functional simulation and debug. The DesignWare product line supplies licensable semiconductor IP for interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, MIPI, and USB, along with security IP for cryptographic functions.
Following the Ansys acquisition, Synopsys markets a combined Multiphysics Fusion portfolio pairing its PrimeTime timing-signoff and RedHawk-SC power-integrity tools with Ansys simulation products for combined timing, power, and thermal analysis on semiconductor designs. Synopsys.ai Copilot adds generative-AI assistance for chip-design workflows, including natural-language queries against design intent and coverage data.
