Subject: An Odd Synopsys Marriage Of DesignWare And Smartmodel Licenses...
Hi, John,
According to Synopsys sales, licenses for Synopsys LMG "Smartmodels"
(SIMMODEL-PREM) licenses and Synopsys DC DesignWare (DesignWare-Basic)
will soon be interchangable.(?)
The Synopsys LMG models are a library of standard components which have
been used in board level simulations for years. An ASIC designer's
company may have licenses for these tools which they may know nothing
about. Why Synopsys would want to integrate the license for these two
products which have completely different funciontality I have no idea,
but I plan to capitolize on this in my ASIC designs.
