SAN JOSE, Calif.– Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that Realtek successfully used the Cadence® Tempus™ Timing Solution to sign off an N12 high-performance CPU core while achieving significantly improved power, performance and area (PPA). By adopting the Tempus Timing Solution, Realtek realized a 2X boost in productivity and reduced design closure turnaround time by 50% versus their previous methodology. In addition, Realtek reduced their compute costs and memory footprint by 50%.
Cadence signoff solutions provided the Realtek team with several key benefits, including:
- Accurate golden signoff analysis: Cadence's Tempus Timing Solution and Quantus™ Extraction Solution empowered the Realtek team to confidently deliver accurate, working silicon
- Improved productivity and reduced schedule time: The Tempus ECO Option with SmartMMMC Optimization enabled Realtek to converge timing closure faster with fewer iterations from within the Innovus™ Implementation System
- Compute resource savings: The Tempus CMMMC feature with concurrent multi-mode multi-corner technology allowed Realtek to implement all views in a single run so they could reach design closure faster while significantly conserving machine resources
