What they do:
Synopsys' Silicon to Software technologies and services are designed to help their customers—chip and system engineers and software developers—to speed up time to market, achieve the highest quality of results, mitigate risk, and maximize profitability.
Chip and system designers must determine how best to design, locate and connect the building blocks of chips, and to verify that the resulting design behaves as intended and can be manufactured efficiently and cost-effectively
Software developers are responsible for writing code that not only accomplishes its goals as efficiently as possible, but also runs securely and is free of defects. They offer products that can help developers write higher quality, more secure code by analyzing code for quality defects and known security vulnerabilities, adding intelligence and automation to the software testing process, and helping to eliminate defects in a systematic manner.
Their purpose:
They aim to be a key engineering catalyst towards this Smart Everything world as their mission is to enable innovation at the critical interplay between semiconductors and software.

Synopsys introduced 3 business segments
Beginning in fiscal year 2023, Synopsys began reporting revenue and operating income in three segments:
Design automation
Design IP
Software Integrity
Business Segments:
Design Automation
This segment includes digital and custom integrated circuit (IC) design software, verification hardware and software products, manufacturing-related design products, field-programmable gate array (FPGA) design software, optical products, professional services, and other.
Design Automation is about 65% of their revenue.
Design IP
This segment includes Synopsys IP portfolio.
Intellectual Property(IP) System Integration
As more functionality converges into a single chip or even a multi-die system, the number of third-party IP blocks incorporated into designs is rapidly increasing. They provide the broadest, most comprehensive portfolio of high-quality, silicon-proven IP solutions.
Design IP is approximately 25% of their revenue.
Software Integrity
Their software integrity segment helps organizations align people, processes, and technology to intelligently address software risks across their portfolio and at all stages of the application lifecycle.
The testing tools, services, and programs enable their customers to manage open source license compliance and detect, prioritize, and remediate security vulnerabilities and defects across their entire software development lifecycle.
Their offerings include security and quality testing products, managed services, programs, professional services, and training offered as on-premises and cloud-based delivery.
Software Integrity is about 10% of their revenue.
