[{"type":"text","content":"\nHighlights:\n\n\n\nCertified Cadence flows are production-ready, and design IP is readily available for customers looking to create Intel 16 designs now\n\n\n\nCustomers can confidently deliver a wide variety of HPC, consumer and USMAG applications based on the Cadence-certified flows\n\n\n\n SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nCadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced its digital and custom/analog flows are certified on the Intel 16 FinFET process technology and its design IP supports this node from Intel Foundry Services (IFS). The companies also delivered the corresponding process design kits (PDKs) to accelerate the development of a wide variety of low-power consumer, high-performance computing (HPC) and secure U.S. Military, Aerospace and Government (USMAG) applications. Customers can begin using the production-ready Cadence® design flows and design IP now to achieve design goals and speed time to market.\n\n\nIntel 16 Digital Full-Flow\n\n\nThe complete Cadence RTL-to-GDS flow has been certified and optimized for use with Intel 16 technology, allowing customers to meet power, performance and area (PPA) targets. The flow includes the Innovus™ Implementation System, Genus™ Synthesis Solution, Quantus™ Extraction Solution, Tempus™ Timing Signoff Solution and Tempus ECO Option, Pegasus™ Verification System and Pegasus DFM and Voltus™ IC Power Integrity Solution. Some of the Cadence flow’s capabilities for Intel 16 process rules have been enhanced, including via insertion and antenna rule support, which ensure high-quality designs.\n\n\nIntel 16 Custom/Analog Flow\n\n\nCadence Virtuoso® Studio, which consists of the Virtuoso Schematic Editor, Virtuoso Layout Suite, Virtuoso ADE Suite, and the integrated Spectre® X Simulator, have all been certified for Intel 16 technology. These tools have all been enhanced for better management of corner simulations, statistical analyses, design centering and circuit optimization.\n\n\nThe Virtuoso design platform provides a tight integration with the Innovus Implementation System, enhancing the implementation methodology of mixed-signal designs using a common database. In addition, the Virtuoso Layout Suite has been refreshed for efficient layout implementation on Intel 16, which leverages better performance and scalability throughout the layout environment; a non-uniform...
