The company's main business activities encompass three primary segments: Design Automation, Design IP, and Software Integrity. The Design Automation segment includes EDA and Other revenue groups, with the EDA group providing products that automate the IC design process, reduce errors, and enable more powerful and robust designs. The EDA products include digital and custom IC design, verification, and manufacturing solutions, which can be broken down into Digital and Custom IC Design, Verification, and Manufacturing. Digital and Custom IC Design offer a comprehensive digital design implementation solution that redefines conventional design tool boundaries, providing a more integrated flow than ever before. Verification includes virtual prototyping, static and formal verification, simulation, emulation, FPGA-based prototyping, and debug. Manufacturing solutions encompass device and process simulation, mask synthesis, and yield management.

The Design IP segment provides a broad and comprehensive portfolio of high-quality, silicon-proven IP solutions for SoCs. The IP portfolio includes wired and wireless interfaces, logic libraries and embedded memories, processor solutions, security IP solutions, and SoC infrastructure IP. These can be further categorized into Wired and Wireless Interfaces, Logic Libraries and Embedded Memories, Processor Solutions, Security IP Solutions, and SoC Infrastructure IP.

The 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 customers to manage open source license compliance and detect, prioritize, and remediate security vulnerabilities and defects across their entire software development lifecycle. Software Integrity segment offerings include Testing Tools, Services, and Programs.
