Realtek continues to buy Synopsys EDA tools

Realtek Semiconductor has extended its use of Synopsys' Galaxy Implementation, Discovery Verification, Confirma Rapid Prototyping Platforms, and Synopsys' DesignWare IP and consulting services. This new business deal is now called as "Primary EDA partner"

"By selecting Synopsys as our primary EDA partner, we are choosing more than tools, we are choosing a company that shares our commitment to creating differentiated system-on-chip solutions," said Alex Chiu, chief executive officer at Realtek. "Through years of cooperation and expanded use of Synopsys technology, we have demonstrated success in our ability to design high performance, energy-efficient products in a cost-effective manner. Going forward, we will continue to take advantage of Synopsys' technical leadership and world-class support to drive enhancements in design efficiency and accelerate new product development."
