new Synthesis tool

Incentia Design Systems -> designCraft
Monterey Design System
synplicity ASIC

Have anyone can compare it with Synopsys DC ??
 

At least two things can be expected.

* They all support library format either directly or indirectly through data conversion.

* They shall be much cheaper in the price.

Synplify ASIC has the fastest run-time in industry : ~10 times faster than DC.

Does Synplicity has any tool to convert synopsys .lib to its own db format for IC design?
I think synplify is not industry well accepted tool, cause there are no library support from fab.
 

Synplify ASIC does support .lib format. Read here :

It's said that when synthesizing some big designs, Incentia's tool is
10x~100x faster than DC, nearly the same area.
In my opinion, Synopsys has become the barrior in the field of synthesis,
because it is the No.1, what it is doing is just maintain its market-share.
While the other small company have to output a better tool to compete
with Synopsys.
 

Any tool that can convert .db to the Synplicity ASIC use library?
I have no .lib , and only the .db I got.
