IP addresses need for advanced SoC designs in
hyperscale, industrial, and aerospace and defense markets
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced
broad IP collaboration with GLOBALFOUNDRIES® (GF®) on the 12LP
platform and 12LP+ solution encompassing support for advanced
memory interfaces including DDR4, DDR5, GDDR6, LPDDR4X and LPDDR5,
as well as chiplet-based PHY IP and Cadence’s flagship 16G
multi-protocol SerDes. The first product on the GF 12LP platform is
the Cadence® 16G Multi-Link and Multi-Protocol PHY, which is based
on a high-performance multi-protocol architecture already
well-proven in high volume production. For more information on the

“GF is working closely with Cadence to enable high-performance
SerDes and advanced memory interfaces to support our mutual
customers building advanced SoCs for high-performance computing,
aerospace and defense applications, cloud/data center servers, AI
accelerators, and wired and wireless networking applications, as
well as designers and customers leveraging die-to-die connectivity
and pursuing chiplet architectures,” said Mark Ireland, vice
president of ecosystem and design solutions at GF. “The combination
of our 12LP platform, specialized 12LP+ FinFET solution offerings,
and Cadence design IP enables our mutual customers to win in their
respective markets through fast and efficient development and
certification of their complex SoCs with compelling performance,
power, and area results.”
“Cadence is making significant investments in enabling advanced
IP. Together with GF, we are delivering mature, silicon-proven
high-performance IP solutions that meet the needs of market-leading
industrial and aerospace and defense companies,” said Rishi Chugh,
vice president of product marketing, IP Group at Cadence. “Our
expanding IP portfolio on the GF 12LP/LP+ process node unlocks a
new set of customers for Cadence, allowing us to help accelerate
development and time to market for their next-generation SoCs.”
GF’s most advanced FinFET solution, 12LP+ builds upon GF’s
established 14nm/12LP platform, of which GF has shipped more than
one million wafers. By partnering closely and learning from AI
customers, GF developed 12LP+ to provide greater differentiation
and increased value for designers in the AI space while further
minimizing their development and production costs.
Cadence’s broad design IP portfolio also supports the company’s
Intelligent System Design™ strategy, delivering SoC design
excellence.
Availability
The Cadence flagship 16G multi-protocol PHY supporting PCI
Express® (PCIe®) 4.0 and 10G-KR on the GF 12LP process is available
now. Advanced memory IP supporting the DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR4X, LPDDR5
and GDDR6 protocols, as well as chiplet-based PHY IP and
high-performance SerDes IP for GF’s 12LP+ solution is in
development, and design kits are expected to be available in 1H of
2021.
