Tools
Fujitsu's design environment utilizes industry-leading tools from the major EDA companies such as Synopsys, Cadence and Mentor Graphics. Internally developed tools supplement this environment at specific points, resulting in an integrated and efficient system. Multi-platform support is also provided for products such as Sun and HP workstations.
A list of the supported tools for the major steps in the design flow is given in the table below.
