Nangate Design Optimizer™ is the re-synthesis solution for next-generation physical design flows. The Design Optimizer brings together standard-cell library creation with gate-level optimization to provide significant improvements in design speed, area and power consumption.

RTL Synthesis and Physical Design flows from leading suppliers all rely on a predefined, fixed standard-cell library. Standard-cell libraries are created with the intent of general-purpose usage across various design types, so compromises have to be made that affect performance on a particular design. The Design Optimizer removes these restrictions and introduces concurrent optimization of design and library.
