Cadence Custom/AMS Flow Certified for Samsung 28nm FD-SOI Process Technology

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- May 13, 2019 -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that its custom and analog/mixed-signal (AMS) IC design flow has achieved certification for Samsung Foundry’s 28nm FD-SOI (28FDS) process technology. This certification ensures that mutual customers of Cadence and Samsung Foundry will have access to a highly automated circuit design, layout, signoff and verification flow that enables efficient custom design at 28FDS.

For more information on the new Cadence custom and AMS flow that supports the Samsung 28FDS process technology, visit www.cadence.com/go/samsung28fdsoicams.

The Cadence custom and AMS flow is an ideal solution for customers developing automotive, internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications at 28FDS technology and features capabilities that are well suited for digitally assisted analog designs. The complete custom and AMS flow that is certified by Samsung Foundry includes the Virtuoso® Analog Design Environment (ADE), Virtuoso Schematic Editor, Virtuoso Layout Suite, Virtuoso Space-Based Router, Spectre® Accelerated Parallel Simulator (APS), Voltus-Fi Custom Power Integrity Solution, Quantus Extraction Solution and Physical Verification System (PVS). The flow provides the following capabilities:

In addition to the custom and AMS flow certification, a process design kit (PDK) techfile is now Mixed-Signal OpenAccess ready, allowing customers to use the highly integrated Virtuoso-InnovusÔ flow immediately. Mixed-Signal OpenAccess enables full interoperability between the Virtuoso and Innovus platforms operating on a single OpenAccess design database. This enables users to implement mixed-signal designs in a shorter time and to perform static timing analysis and signoff on a path across digital embedded in mixed-signal hierarchy of multiple blocks.
