Cadence and ARM Tackle Signal Integrity Issues for Foundry
Program Partners With New Views
Chip-Level Signal Integrity Issues Can Be Detected and Corrected Earlier in the
Design Process
SAN JOSE, Calif. and CAMBRIDGE, England, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CDN)(NASDAQ:CDN), and ARM (NASDAQ:ARMHY) (
LSE: ARM) , today announced the availability of signal integrity (SI) views
from ARM for Foundry Program Partners. For designers incorporating hardened
ARM(R) processors into their designs, these views give access to critical data
required to perform detailed voltage drop and SI analysis. This analysis
speeds time-to-market of nanometer-scale system-on-chip (SoC) designs by rapid
detection and resolution of critical SI issues. The ARM processor views
support industry-leading Cadence tools, including CeltIC(TM) crosstalk analysis
and repair and VoltageStorm(R) power grid analysis, which are core technologies
within the Cadence(R) Encounter(TM) digital IC design platform.
As customers move to 130 nanometers and below, voltage drop and SI issues pose
increased risks of chip failure and poor yield. When combined with the growing
use of hardened intellectual property (IP), the risk of critical design
problems due to SI issues is even greater because designers previously had no
SI views for the hardened IP. This joint solution provides the critical
characteristics of hardened IP processors provided by ARM that will enable
designers to find and correct SI problems earlier in the design process,
speeding time-to-market for ARM Partners.
"The collaboration between Cadence and ARM to deliver these views will enable
us to identify and correct potential chip failure and yield loss problems
before tapeout, and shorten our time-to-market," said Dr. Chi-Sin Wang,
chairman and chief executive officer at Centrality Communications. "The
availability of these models will enable us to fully utilize the capabilities
of Cadence's SI analysis solutions in our SoC designs."
"ARM and Cadence have provided yet another important capability to enable
faster, and more accurate verification of designs incorporating hardened ARM
IP," said Keith Clarke, vice president, Engineering, ARM. "The co-development
of these SI views further reduces the risk for our Foundry Program Partners,
and will continue to help reduce overall time to working silicon for our
Partners."
"Identifying and correcting signal integrity issues early in the design cycle
is critical to first silicon success," said Jan Willis, senior vice president,
Industry Marketing, Cadence. "By optimizing the silicon design chain for our
customers, Cadence and ARM are enhancing the successful implementation of
nanometer designs."
The signal integrity views are available from ARM for its Foundry Program
Partners.
