SpringSoft created a custom layout tool called Laker and a US-based company called Silicon Canvas.

In 1997, SpringSoft established Novas Software in Silicon Valley to market Springsoft's VLSI Debugging software. The company was founded with a grant from the Taiwanese National Science Council in February 1996. SpringSoft is a software company that developed VLSI design and debugging software. It is not to be confused with Spring (company). On OctoNumerical Technologies acquired Cadabra Design Automation, a provider of automated IC layout cell creation technology used to create the building blocks for standard cell, semi-custom and custom integrated circuits. primarily known for its CATS software for mask data preparation, On JanuNumerical Technologies acquired Transcription Enterprises, Inc. The company was primarily known for its intellectual property, software tools and services covering phase-shifting mask technology. was a San Jose, California, United States based electronic design automation public ( NASDAQ: NMTC) company. This distinction was also awarded to Novas Software for the four years prior to 2006. Along with this, Novas Software topped the user satisfaction ratings with 100% of respondents in Europe, 83% in North America & 69% in Asia saying they were either "very" or "somewhat" satisfied. A 2006 study found Novas Software to be the sixth most-used EDA vendor. Novas' main product offerings included the Debussy Debug System, Verdi Automated Debug System and the Siloti family of Visibility Enhancement products.

Novas offered debugging and visibility enhancement products that cut down on verification time. SpringSoft and Novas was acquired by Synopsys in 2012.
Until 2008, Novas grew to employ over 50 people with office locations across the world, headquartered in San Jose, California. Prior to its purchase, Novas was partly owned by SpringSoft, which developed the underlying debug technology. Novas was purchased by Taiwan-based EDA company SpringSoft in May 2008. Novas Software was a company founded in 1996 by Paul Huang to address the ongoing problem of debugging chip designs. The lawsuits were filed in 1995 and inherited by Avanti. Synopsys then paid an additional $26.1 million to Silvaco to settle two of three Silvaco's suits against Meta-Software, earlier purchased by Avanti, and its president. 2d 169 (2002), the California Supreme Court upheld the lower court's earlier decision. Soon after the settlement, in Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
Synopsys paid Cadence about $265 million more to end all litigation. Avanti was merged into Synopsys on Jduring the litigation.
At the time Avanti was the #4 company in the EDA industry, and was struggling with a major lawsuit from Cadence for software theft. This was, by far, Synopsys' most significant and controversial acquisition. Its products included: Platform Architect, Model Designer, Model Library, Processor Designer, Signal Processing Designer and Virtual Platform Designer.Īvanti Corporation (styled as "Avant!) was founded when several former Cadence Design Systems employees bought the startup ArcSys, which was previously merged with Integrated Silicon Solutions (ISS), gaining Avanti its design rule checking and layout versus schematic tool Hercules (including 3D silicon structure modeling), then bought Compass Design Automation, which had fully integrated IC design flow and ASIC libraries, especially its place and route tool, which Avanti reworked to create Saturn and Apollo II and it also bought TMA (Technology Modeling Associates) which brought their pioneering TCAD and Proteus optical proximity correction tools. On February 8, 2010, Synopsys announced an acquisition of CoWare. In 2005, CoWare acquired the Signal Processing department from Cadence. CoWare is one of the founding member of SystemC language. In 1996, CoWare spun off as an independent company.
CoWare was headquartered in San Jose, California, and had offices around the world, major R&D offices in Belgium, Germany and India.ĬoWare development was initiated by the Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre ( IMEC) in Belgium as an internal project in 1992. CoWare ĬoWare was a supplier of platform-driven electronic system-level (ESL) design software and services. Synopsys history made some silicon and design verification acquisitions. The company was initially established as Optimal Solutions with a charter to develop and market synthesis technology developed by the team at General Electric. Synopsys was founded by Aart J de Geus and David Gregory in 1986 in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
