The Synopsys DesignWare PVT subsystem developed by its team from Moortec in the UK has been optimised for TSMC's 3nm process technology for lifecycle monitoring of complex chips

Synopsys has ported its process, voltage and temperature (PVT) monitoring and sensing subsystem IP to TSMC's 3nm process technology.
The PVT monitoring and sensing subsystem IP developed by recent UK acquisition Moortec provides real time data on the performance of next generation chips in key 3nm applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), data centre, high-performance computing (HPC), consumer and 5G. The deeply embedded PVT monitoring and sensing subsystem technology is used to assess key chip parameters both during production but also for measurement and analysis of real-time dynamic conditions during every stage of the device life cycle.
The in-chip sensing from Moortec, which is now a part of Synopsys, continues to be an essential element to achieve the highest levels of performance and reliability within today's advanced process technologies, underpinning optimization schemes, telemetry, and analytics and is a foundational element of Synopsys' Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM) platform.
