Due to the ever-increasing costs of development and manufacturing of custom IC devices as well as the flexibility that FPGAs provide, many system houses use FPGA devices not just for prototype or early availability runs, but for the entire life of the product. The result is the number of designs that are implemented in FPGAs is growing, and the complexity of those designs is increasing, requiring more powerful EDA tools for design, up-front verification, debug, and implementation.
Cadence offers a variety of tools and methodologies that enable users to develop their FPGA designs quickly and effectively to improve quality and time to FPGA signoff. Our tools and our FPGA vendor relationships help users avoid long programming and field testing cycles.
Let us help you:
- Track and sign off top-level requirements through all transformations for safety
- Use techniques and methodologies to improve design productivity
- Improve design creation and reuse of code
- Implement system synthesis that feeds FPGA synthesis tools
- Integrate coverage between formal and simulation increase coverage
Our portfolio includes:
- Ability to track requirements through signoff for high-reliability, safety-critical, or any complex FPGA design projects with the vManager™ Metric-Driven Signoff Platform
- Automatic creation of high-quality register-level (RTL) design implementations for FPGA designs with Stratus™ High-Level Synthesis
- Broad memory and protocol support with Cadence® design IP, memory IP, and verification IP (VIP)
- Formal verification through JasperGold® Apps to find more bugs in less time and earlier in the design process
- High-performance simulation with comprehensive VHDL, SystemVerilog, and other language support with the Xcelium™ Parallel Logic Simulator
