Cadence and SMIC Collaborate on Delivery of Low-Power 28nm Digital Design Reference Flow

Full Suite of Cadence Digital Tools Improves Designer Productivity from RTL-to-Signoff

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jun. 07, 2016 –  Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), today announced a collaboration with Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) on the delivery of a 28nm design reference flow that incorporates a full suite of Cadence digital products for low-power design. This reference flow is a 28nm low-power register-transfer level (RTL) to signoff flow based on the IEEE 1801 low power design and verification standard. It enables system-on-chip (SoC) developers to deliver designs with optimal power consumption, performance and area (PPA), speeding time to market to satisfy ever-increasing computer, consumer electronics, network and wireless product market requirements.

The Cadence tools that provide comprehensive support from RTL-to-signoff include:
