"austriamicrosystems has used Cadence technology for the development and manufacturing of our analog ICs since 1992. To handle the digital parts of our mixed-signal system-on-chip designs, it was crucial for us to collaborate with one of the most experienced EDA suppliers in this space," said Thomas Riener, Vice President and General Manager BU Full Service Foundry, at austriamicrosystems. "With Cadence Encounter Digital Implementation System, we are now enabled to tightly integrate our design flows, which will enable us further in ensuring our customers' success."
Encounter Digital Implementation System is a full-featured leading-edge digital implementation solution that offers tight interoperability between analog and digital design environments for mixed-signal implementation and analysis. It also delivers the unique ability to perform top-level static timing analysis for mixed-signal designs, including digital components within the analog hierarchy.
Cadence design-for-manufacturing (DFM) technologies are an integral part of the EDI System, enabling early identification, analysis and repair of yield-limiting design elements present at advanced nodes.
"A solution that shares a unified database between custom and digital implementation offers a vast advantage for our customers," said Limin He, vice president Research & Development of IC digital products at Cadence. "austriamicrosystems benefits from the enhanced interoperability, which enables better communication between the design teams. That enables austriamicrosystems to deploy a more efficient design flow and to save precious design time."
