Semiconductor design software company Synopsys has instructed its staff in China to stop services and sales, and to cease taking new orders due to new U.S. export restrictions. An internal memo revealed that these restrictions broadly prohibit sales of their products and services in China, which affects all customers including Chinese military users. The decision follows a letter from the U.S. Department of Commerce outlining the restrictions, significantly impacting access to electronic design automation tools for Chinese chipmakers, who heavily rely on U.S. software.
