Cadence Digital and Signoff Tools Certified on Samsung Foundry's 14LPP Process

Reference flow enables system and semiconductor companies to accelerate delivery of 14nm FinFET design

SAN JOSE, Calif, Mar. 30, 2016 – Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that its complete suite of digital and signoff tools has achieved certification for Samsung Foundry's Process Design Kit (PDK) and foundation library for the 14LPP process. The Cadence 14nm FinFET reference flow has been validated by Samsung using a quad-core design with the Arm Cortex-A53 processor, which was implemented with the low-power methodology covering power-gating, IEEE 1801 UPF2.0 power intent, memory retention and multibit-FF optimization.

The Cadence digital and signoff tools met all of Samsung's accuracy requirements, providing customers with a faster path to implementation and closure, as well as optimal power, performance and area (PPA) on the 14LPP process. In addition, the Cadence signoff tools have been certified for tapeout against the Samsung certification criteria. The tools in the flow include:
