Bangalore June 20

Semiconductor design software firm Synopsys has acquired the Bangalore-based ArchPro Design Automation, a power management technology provider. Synopsys did not disclose the terms of the deal.

Mr Manoj Gandhi, senior vice president, Synopsys said ArchPro's technologies would enhance the company's low-power design and verification solution.

ArchPro's technologies enable engineers to address power management challenges in multi-voltage designs from chip architecture to RTL and gate-level design, he said. "These technologies allow verification of modern power management techniques such as power rating, substrate biasing, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, and extend Synopsys' leadership in low-power design and verification," Mr Gandhi said.

Venture capital firms Intel Capital, Sage and Entrepia had invested in ArchPro, which has its main development centre in Bangalore. ArchPro has 40-plus power management experts and top tier clients overseas, particularly in the US and Japan.
