Synplicity acquires asic prototyping specialist
Synplicity has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Swedish asic prototyping specialist HARDI Electronics. According to the company, the asic prototyping market is one the fastest growing segments of the eda industry, and the acquisition makes it the leader in this part of the asic verification market.
Gary Meyers, Synplicity’s ceo, said: “This is a major strategic move for Synplicity. We will be able to immediately leverage our existing asic verification products by selling them together with the HARDI asic prototyping boards. Our asic verification strategy capitalises on this acquisition and we’re particularly excited about 2008, when we anticipate combined revenues in excess of $80million.”
