Vidatronic achieved a 3X reduction in memory
consumption on its analog IP designs for mobile, 5G, hyperscale and
other consumer electronics
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that
Vidatronic, Inc. has successfully used the Cadence® Spectre® X
Simulator to achieve leading electromigration and IR drop (EM-IR)
reliability analysis on leading-edge 7nm and 5nm analog IP designs
for mobile, hyperscale and other consumer electronics. With the
Spectre X Simulator, Vidatronic achieved up to 10X speedup and a 3X
reduction in memory consumption versus the previous-generation
Spectre simulator.
Vidatronic licenses analog intellectual property (IP) designs,
including power management unit (PMU), wireless charger, and LED
lighting solutions for integration into customers' systems on chip
(SoCs) in advanced-process nodes from 180nm down to 5nm.
The Spectre X Simulator enabled the Vidatronic team to test the
reliability of their IP within larger blocks, ensuring accurate
design measurements. Prior to deploying the Spectre X Simulator,
Vidatronic’s design simulation took days, and after, the team was
able to complete simulation within hours. The Spectre X simulation
flow was straightforward, and there was virtually no learning curve
for the designers because the team had previous experience with the
legacy Spectre simulator. With one project in particular, the
Vidatronic engineering team completed a design simulation with two
million nodes, 1.6 million capacitors and 4.04 million resistors in
a matter of hours.
“The Spectre X Simulator helped us reach our overall
verification goals of improved simulation performance and
capacity,” said John Tabler, Principal Member of Technical Staff at
Vidatronic. “Cadence helped us deliver signoff accuracy on our 5nm
IP design while drastically improving runtime, reducing
verification time from days to hours, enabling us to get to market
faster.”
The Spectre X Simulator is part of the Cadence Custom and Analog
Suite and supports Cadence’s broader Intelligent System Design™
strategy for design excellence. For more information on the Spectre
