		<description><![CDATA[Synopsys Inc. (SNPS) reported fourth quarter 2011 earnings per share (EPS) of 37 cents, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 45 cents per share, but surpassed the 4Q10 EPS of 31 cents. The company was able to drive sales, while keeping expenses under control. Share prices of Synopsys rose 68 cents to $28.65 in after market trading, after gaining 3.4% in the regular trading session. Revenue Revenue in the fourth quarter was $390.5 million, up 3.9% from $375.5 million in the year-ago period. More than 90% of the fourth quarter revenue came from backlog in the beginning of quarter, while upfront revenue constituted about 5.0% of the total fourth quarter revenue and 6.0% of the fiscal 2011 revenue. This is inline with the target range of less than 10.0% upfront ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Electronic design automation (EDA) software company Synopsys Inc. (SNPS) recently completed the acquisition of Virage Logic Corp. (VIRL) for $12 per share. The total consideration of the deal came in at approximately $315.0 million. Virage Logic’s business is expected to integrate easily with Synopsys, as the former provides semiconductor intellectual property (IP) for the design of complex integrated circuits. In a way, this acquisition is expected to supplement Synopsys&#8217; Designware platform, as well as its Intellectual Property product category. The company has adopted acquisitions as a growth strategy. Earlier, it added technology, engineering resources and other such assets of Synfora, Inc. to its portfolio. Synfora provides C/C++ design technology, for complex system-on-chips (SoCs) and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). This acquisition was intended to strengthen Synopsys’ position in the FPGA-based prototyping ]]></description>

Synopsys declared the initial acquisition news about a month back, but did not disclose pecuniary details of the deal. Even after the completion of this deal, there is no clarification from the company about the monetary involvement in the acquisition.

		<description><![CDATA[Synopsys Inc. (SNPS) is on an acquisition spree. After the company’s acquisition of VaST Systems Technology Corporation, Synopsys has now announced an agreement to acquire CoWare, Inc. The company expects this acquisition to augment Synopsys&#8217; portfolio of design and verification products used in wireless, consumer and automotive design. CoWare is a global supplier of software and services for electronic systems design and will fit Synopsys’s business model really well. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and Synopsys has not given the pecuniary or other details of this deal. Although this is an intelligent business decision by the company as System-level design and verification solutions have been gaining momentum among chip developers, we believe that revenue contribution from CoWare Inc. in the coming quarter will be limited, as there ]]></description>

This acquisition is expected to augment the company’s virtual prototyping solutions portfolio and cater to the automotive and consumer applications customer in a better way. VaST Systems was founded in 1997 and is backed by Foundation Capital, Mohr Davidow Ventures and Allen &#38; Buckeridge. With this acquisition, Synopsys gets access to the processor subsystem models generally found in automotive and consumer applications of the company’s prototyping portfolio. Virtualization is a key technology that helps to improve software development productivity and system verification. Although this is a major acquisition by the company in recent times, the terms of the deal were not disclosed. We believe that it is not justified to expect a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leading software and semiconductor IP design company Synopsys Inc. (SNPS) recently introduced the Synphony HLS (High Level Synthesis) solution that combines M-language and model-based synthesis, enabling the delivery of around ten times higher design and verification productivity compared to traditional RTL (Register Transfer Level) flows for communication. In RTL design, a circuit&#8217;s behavior is defined in terms of the flow of signals (or transfer of data) between hardware registers and the logical operations performed on those signals. This whole operation is carried out within a span of time, which will be drastically reduced by the introduction of HLS technology. Synphony HLS is made through a combination of Synopsys’ Design Compiler, Synplify Premier, Confirma, VCS, System Studio and Innovator products in order to facilitate the process of prototyping, implementation and verification ]]></description>

This new technology has been formed through the combination of Star-RCTX extraction technologies and the Raphael NXT 3D fast field solver. The new product will offer better runtime and optimum accuracy to support the analytical capability of the highly sensitive circuits. This new solution is linked with Synopsys&#8217; CustomSim circuit simulator and also Synopsys&#8217; Galaxy Custom Designer implementation solution to improve runtime and designer productivity, while ensuring accuracy of the circuits. To address the issues related to simulation and severe bottlenecks faced by circuits today, Synopsys has come out with StarRC Custom, which will not only improve extraction runtime but improve the simulation process by optimizing data extraction.

The latter has adopted Synopsys&#8217; HSIM hierarchical FastSPICE circuit simulator for its sub-40-nanometer, memory intellectual property characterization flow. The HSIM technology will be used in TSM&#8217;s advanced SRAM compilers for improvement in timing and power simulation techniques. It will also facilitate the process of full chip simulation process. This new technology from Synopsys will help TSM improve memory characterization efficiency by almost 10 times. TSM has adopted this technology, as the Synopsys’ technology is expected to be superior to those offered by other software and semiconductor companies. We are encouraged by Synopsys&#8217; new technologies and its ability to attract new and important customers, which should improve the company&#8217;s revenue and cash flows going ]]></description>
