SYNOPSYS INC (SNPS)

Synopsys, Inc. supplies engineering solutions "from silicon to systems," helping customers rapidly innovate AI-powered products. It is a global supplier of electronic design automation (EDA) software and hardware used to design, verify and test integrated circuits, and it is pioneering AI-driven chip design across its EDA suite. Following the combination with Ansys, it is also a leader in engineering simulation and analysis (S&A) software. It additionally offers silicon intellectual property (IP), technical services, design services, support and training.

The company reports two segments. The Design Automation segment includes the EDA, Ansys and Other revenue groups. EDA products cover digital and custom IC design (Fusion Compiler, Design Compiler NXT, IC Compiler II, PrimeTime, StarRC, 3DIC Compiler, Custom Compiler, PrimeSim), silicon lifecycle management, FPGA synthesis (Synplify), verification (VCS, VC SpyGlass, Verdi, VC Formal, ZeBu emulation, HAPS prototyping, Virtualizer), and manufacturing tools (TCAD, mask synthesis, yield management). The Synopsys.ai suite adds AI-driven optimization and analytics, including DSO.ai, VSO.ai, TSO.ai and generative AI copilot capabilities. Synopsys Cloud offers EDA via the cloud, including a software-as-a-service solution developed with Microsoft Azure. The Ansys S&A portfolio spans structures, electronics, fluids, optics, photonics and semiconductor multiphysics analysis (e.g., Mechanical, HFSS, Fluent, Lumerical, RedHawk-SC). The Other group includes university program sales, mechatronic simulation, foreign currency hedge results, and revenue from the Optical Solutions Group, which was sold to Keysight Technologies in October 2025. The Design IP segment provides pre-verified, silicon-proven IP, including interface IP (UCIe, HBM, PCI Express, DDR/LPDDR, Ethernet, USB, MIPI), logic libraries and embedded memories, ARC processors, security IP, automotive-grade IP and verification IP. Its IP Accelerated initiative adds architecture support, customized subsystems and IP hardening.

EDA and Design IP customers are primarily semiconductor and electronics systems companies. S&A customers span high-tech, aerospace and defense, automotive, energy, industrial equipment, materials and chemicals, consumer products, healthcare and construction, as well as academia. Demand is driven by verticals such as AI, 5G, automotive and cloud computing infrastructure, and by the growing complexity of chips and software-defined systems. Products are sold directly in the United States and principal foreign markets, and certain products, including S&A software, are also sold through independent channel partners. Software and documentation are typically delivered electronically.

Synopsys is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, and has 189 offices worldwide, with sales, support or service offices in the United States, Canada, Europe, Israel and Asia (including Japan, China, Korea, India and Taiwan). It provides post-contract support through application engineers and customer portals, plus training workshops and consulting. The company supports industry standards such as SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL and SystemC and develops PyAnsys, open-source Python libraries for its simulation products.
