SoC Implemenation and Floorplanning

Achieving rapid design convergence in large, complex chips requires greater capacity, accuracy, and automation than what conventionally rigid hierarchical design flows can provide. With Cadence^® hierarchical design and floorplanning technologies, you’ll have fewer iterations and significantly shorter turnaround time. Unified timing and extraction engines across an integrated flow bring predictable design closure and convergence.

Innovus Implementation System

Optimized for industry-leading embedded processors, as well as for 16nm, 14nm, and 10nm processes, the Innovus implementation system helps you get an earlier design start with a faster ramp-up. With unique new capabilities in placement, optimization, routing, and clocking, the Cadence Innovus^™ Implementation System features an architecture that accounts for upstream and downstream steps and effects in the design flow. This architecture minimizes design iterations and provides the runtime boost you’ll need to get to market faster. Using the Innovus Implementation System, you’ll be equipped to build integrated, differentiated systems with less risk.

First Encounter Design Exploration and Prototyping

Enables quick full-chip virtual prototyping to accurately capture downstream physical/electrical impacts at the beginning of the design cycle. Unique partitioning and budgeting capabilities combined with GigaFlex Abstraction Technology make hierarchical implementation easier and faster for giga-scale, high-speed designs.
