As electronic companies strive to meet market demands, they face new
challenges in managing the complexity of electronic device design against
shrinking project schedules. Forte Design Systems offers a practical
approach for designers to get more functionality and performance into each
production design with its silicon-proven behavioral synthesis technology
and design environment.
By automating the generation of high-quality RTL code from high-level
design descriptions, Forte has provided a way for designers of complex
chips to achieve considerable reductions in the time needed to attain
production-ready designs. Forte offers synthesis technology that supports
design at a higher level of abstraction, a systematic design methodology
that reduces time to production, and the ability to deploy the new
technology with minimal disruption to existing design infrastructures.
Forte has worldwide direct sales representation in North America,
Europe, and Japan with a Value Added Reseller (VAR) relationship
established in Korea. Forte Design Systems is a privately-held company with

applications that have a high amount of algorithmic content derive the
greatest productivity benefits.
Forte's support of industry standards eases the adoption of new technology
and protects design tool investments over time.
Forte partners
with numerous EDA companies to deliver complete design solutions so that our
common customers can derive the benefits of using products and technologies
that best meet the needs for the production design flows.
