As an American electronic design automation company, Synopsys focuses on silicon design and verification, silicon intellectual property, and software security and quality, supplying tools and services to the semiconductor design and manufacturing industry.
On March 21, 2026, Synopsys launched its AgentEngineer AI platform, designed to combat soaring chip design costs by projecting 2-5x productivity gains in verification, addressing 70% of customers prioritizing AI budgets. Previously, the company integrated Elliptic Technologies and Intrinsic ID as part of market consolidation in the security IP market to build vertically unified secure-element platforms.
