Prolific joins Synopsys in-Sync, TAP-in programs

Prolific Inc., a provider of automated standard cell creation software, has joined the Synopsys in-Sync and TAP-in programs to ensure interoperability of its ProLiquid software with Synopsys' PrimeTime and Library Compiler tools, as well as with the standard Liberty modeling format.

"The Synopsys flow is the emerging standard for the 90nm node, so it is imperative that our Liquid Cell Technology be completely integrated," stated Dan Nenni, Prolific's VP of sales and marketing. "By working with Synopsys, our ProLiquid tool can benefit the greatest number of designers. Membership in the in-Sync and TAP-in programs helps ensure the compatibility of our products to produce the best possible results."
