SpringSoft specializes in unique electronic design automation (EDA) solutions that address key pain points in the development of sophisticated chips and systems. Our products help engineers produce better results in less time as they design, verify and debug today's complex digital, analog and mixed-signal ICs, ASICs, microprocessors, and SoCs. They are supported by a worldwide team of local experts who deliver the highest quality service with unmatched responsiveness.
SpringSoft’s founding team created two uniquely powerful EDA products: the Debussy® Debug System and the Laker™ IC Layout System. Although these two products address
distinct applications, they share a common core
characteristic: they automate tedious, time-consuming
tasks to accelerate engineers through tough spots in the chip design and verification flow so they can focus on value-adding activities.
SpringSoft also pioneered a unique business model, creating a worldwide network of entrepreneurial companies to distribute and support these products, and to build additional technologies and products. This network included Novas Software, which established the market for debug automation, |
built a reputation for #1 customer satisfaction, and added unique verification enhancement technology to SpringSoft’s portfolio; and Silicon Canvas, which established the Laker brand in the US.
Today, SpringSoft has consolidated its network into a single global company with multiple product lines, support operations in every region where chips are designed, and multiple R&D sites, led by a group of seasoned executives located in two headquarters: one in Hsinchu, Taiwan and the other in San Jose, California.
SpringSoft’s award-winning product portfolio features the Novas™ verification enhancement solutions and Laker custom IC design solutions. Together, these products are used by more than 400 of today's leading integrated device manufacturers and fabless semiconductor companies, foundries, and electronic systems OEMs.
The Novas line is based on unique knowledge-based debug, behavior analysis, essential signal analysis, and data expansion technologies. It includes the industry-leading Automated Debug System (Verdi™) that cuts debug time in half, and the world’s only Visibility Automation System (Siloti™) that minimizes simulation overhead. Both products have garnered numerous industry awards.
The Laker line features unique controllable custom layout automation and an advanced Design-Driven Layout flow enabled by our patented MCell technology for device manipulation. Automatically leveraging design information from schematics, netlists, physical design rules, and both extracted and user-specified constraints, our controllable automation allows users to craft the highest quality custom layout designs with less effort. These technologies are delivered in the Laker Layout Editor and Laker ADP Analog Design Platform.
SpringSoft products are built on unique automation technologies that help engineers avoid tedious, error-prone tasks and focus instead on value-adding activities. The company continues to invest in advanced technology in both Verification Enhancement and Custom IC Design through ongoing R&D activities and by acquiring emerging companies.
The effectiveness of SpringSoft products is optimized by interoperability with the most comprehensive ecosystem of third-party design and verification tools, as well as the company’s ongoing commitment to standards, including SystemVerilog, OpenAccess, and the new IPL standard for interoperable PDK libraries. This ensures that SpringSoft users can efficiently deploy best-of-breed tools throughout their design and verification flows.
SpringSoft has created a powerful global organization that is a leader in business innovation as well as the EDA market. Its dual headquarters in Hsinchu, Taiwan and San Jose, California, and more than 400 employees located in multiple R&D sites and local support offices worldwide, uniquely positions SpringSoft to address the fastest growing IC design markets around the globe. In keeping with its mission to deliver specialized EDA solutions with top-rated service, Springsoft is committed to world-leading customer, employee, and shareholder satisfaction based on integrity and professional excellence. Through the SpringSoft Educational Foundation, SpringSoft extends its impact to the wider community by supporting technology education.
