草榴社区 synthesis, verification and modeling tools have capabilities to develop up to the highest quality and security for extreme environments (). 草榴社区 IP is also designed to meet the exacting standards of automotive and can be extended to aerospace. Finally, the 草榴社区 Design Services team can develop for a variety of environments, including space.

<p>草榴社区 automates the design of secure, safe and reliable silicon devices. Our fault-tolerant tools, flows, methodology, and IP originally developed for <a href="/content/synopsys/en-us/automotive/functional-safety-and-security.html" target="_blank">automotive functional safety</a> and <a href="/content/synopsys/en-us/glossary/what-is-low-power-design.html" target="_blank">low power</a> are being extended to meet the challenges of aerospace and defense. This is possible because random faults like safety and radiation resistance and targeted faults like security can have a common technology for prevention and detection.</p>
