High capacity and scalability allowed Samsung
Foundry to qualify its latest chips for advanced-node applications
in the automotive, mobile, consumer and healthcare industries
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that
Samsung Foundry has adopted the Cadence® Spectre® X Simulator for
its latest 5nm PCI Express® (PCIe®) PHY IP for automotive, mobile,
consumer and healthcare applications. Using the Spectre X
Simulator’s multi-core scalability, customers can achieve up to 10X
simulation performance gains for large, post-layout designs while
maintaining golden accuracy.
Designing at advanced nodes requires parasitic inclusion and
simulation to maintain design quality. Samsung Foundry selected the
Spectre X Simulator as its plan of record for the foundry design
team because it offers the higher capacity analog simulation needed
for advanced-node designs, while also increasing performance and
maintaining accuracy. Using the simulator’s verification mode
setting, Samsung can solve long-standing simulation capacity
problems. Additionally, the simulator enabled easy adoption that
got the foundry design team up and running promptly.
“The Spectre X Simulator provided us with the capacity and
accuracy we needed to deliver our high-quality 5nm PCIe PHY IP with
speed and confidence,” said Sangyun Kim, Vice President of Foundry
Design Technology Team at Samsung Electronics. “With the 10X
performance gain we achieved, we can now analyze the post-layout
impact on advanced-node designs and fix issues earlier in the
design cycle.”
The massively parallel Spectre X Simulator maintains the golden
accuracy customers have come to expect from over 25 years of
Spectre industry leadership in analog, mixed-signal and RF
applications. The simulator supports the Cadence Intelligent System
Design™ strategy, enabling design excellence. For more information
