Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that
Samsung Foundry certified a new Cadence® reference flow for the
creation of advanced-node automotive designs. Cadence and Samsung
Foundry collaborated on the development of the reference design,
which was validated using the Samsung Foundry 8nm Low-Power Plus
(8LPP) process technology. The certified flow is available on a
wide range of Samsung Foundry nodes and includes the Cadence
digital implementation and signoff, verification and custom IC
design suites, offering customers optimal power, performance and
area (PPA) and a faster path to achieving automotive system-on-chip
(SoC) safety, quality and reliability targets. For more
information, customers can contact Samsung Foundry.
The certified Cadence automotive flow includes the following
technologies:
- Digital and signoff suite, which enables the fastest
turnaround time (TAT) and optimal design closure without expensive
margins or iterations. Featuring the Innovus™ Implementation
System, Genus™ Synthesis Solution, Modus DFT Software Solution,
Tempus™ Timing Signoff Solution, Liberate™ Characterization
Solution and the Voltus™ IC Power Integrity Solution, the complete
RTL-to-GDSII full flow meets the requirements for automotive safety
and reliability.
- Verification suite with automotive safety technology for
fault campaigns, including Xcelium™ Parallel Logic Simulation and
the JasperGold™ Formal Verification Platform, as well as the
vManager Metric-Driven Signoff Platform, which provides a smooth
transition from functional verification to an FMEDA-based flow for
safety verification.
- Custom IC design suite featuring the Legato™ Reliability
Solution, which combines the best-in-class Virtuoso® and Spectre®
technologies to overcome design roadblocks and minimize failures in
the field due to manufacturing defects, device aging,
electromigration, process variation, and thermal and packaging
effects.
“The investment between Samsung and Cadence on this automotive
reference flow provides our customers with a complete solution for
functional safety, reliability and quality,” said Jung Yun Choi,
vice president of the Design Technology Team at Samsung
Electronics. “The Cadence flow has been through extensive
validation at Samsung Foundry. Through our collaborative work, our
mutual customers can now adopt this high-performance flow with
confidence to create innovative automotive applications on a wide
range of process technologies.”
“Through our collaboration with Samsung Foundry and our focus on
semiconductor design excellence across all aspects of the design
and verification flow, we’re enabling our customers to deliver the
next generation of automotive and safety-critical systems,” said
Alessandra Nardi, automotive solution engineering group director at
Cadence. “Samsung Foundry has confirmed, through certification,
that our flow is ready for use, and we look forward to
collaborating with customers using this new flow that is optimized
for automotive designs.”
The Cadence automotive reference flow, including the digital and
signoff, verification and custom IC design suites, provides
customers with a faster path to design closure and better
predictability. The reference flow supports the company’s
Intelligent System Design™ strategy, facilitating advanced-node
system-on-chip (SoC) design excellence for automotive applications.
Furthermore, the Cadence tools in the automotive reference flow are
included in automotive Functional Safety Documentation Kits, which
have achieved the “Fit for Purpose – Tool Confidence Level 1
(TCL1)” certification, enabling automotive semiconductor
manufacturers, OEMs and component suppliers to meet stringent ISO
26262 automotive safety requirements. For more information on the
