Ansoft Joins Synopsys in-Sync Program.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 24, 2003 Ansoft Corporation (Nasdaq:ANST ANST Association of Neuropsychology Students in Training ANST After Negative Skin Test ) recently joined the Synopsys in-Sync(R) program to improve the interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. between Synopsys' Encore(TM) chip packaging software, HSPICE(R), the golden standard for accurate circuit simulation, and Ansoft's HFSS HFSS High Frequency Structure Simulator HFSS High Fat, Salt and Sugar (food content) HFSS High-Frequency Sounder System HFSS High Frequency Simulator System HFSS High Frequency Sensor Subsystem (TM), SIwave(TM), Spicelink(TM) and Turbo Package Analyzer(TM) (TPA (Transient Program Area) See transient area. TPA - Transient Program Area ). "Design-tool interoperability is critical for the design of complex ICs, PCBs, IC packages and high-speed components," said Karen Bartleson, director of quality and interoperability at Synopsys, Inc. "The in-Sync program establishes relationships between Synopsys and electronic design automation (EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. ) vendors like Ansoft to identify and implement optimal joint flows that maximize the productivity of our mutual customers." Users of Synopsys' Encore can now export their designs to an Ansoft tool and then, if desired, output their files to Synopsys HSPICE for further analysis. This is especially advantageous in the design of complex, high-speed passive interconnects, where electrical behavior depends on effects not included in circuit-simulation tools. "Synopsys' in-Sync program helps our mutual customers meet their stringent design-flow requirements," said Brad Cole, Ansoft's Product Marketing Manager, Signal Integrity Products. "This important link to Synopsys Encore and HSPICE enables our customers to benefit from the enhanced accuracy the Synopsys and Ansoft design flow provides."
