Highlights:
- Cadence delivers 7nm RAK for the
development of Arm-based designs for next-generation smartphones,
laptops, and other mobile devices
- RAK provides an RTL-to-GDS flow,
enabling designers to get to market faster using Arm IP
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that
its full-flow digital and signoff tools support the new
high-performance, high-efficiency Arm® Cortex®-A77 CPU for
next-generation smartphones, laptops, and other mobile devices. To
accelerate the adoption of Arm’s latest processor, Cadence
delivered a complete 7nm Rapid Adoption Kit (RAK) that utilizes Arm
7nm POP™ IP libraries, enabling customers to improve power,
performance and area (PPA) and get to market faster.
To learn more about the Cadence full-flow digital and signoff
solutions that support
the Cortex-A77 processor, please visit

The 7nm RAK includes comprehensive documentation and tool
scripts that detail how customers can leverage their existing
Cadence full-flow digital solution using the latest tool features
to achieve PPA goals when creating designs with the Cortex-A77
processor. The complete Cadence RTL-to-GDS flow includes the
following digital and signoff tools:
- Innovus™
Implementation System: Statistical on-chip variation (SOCV)
propagation and IR-driven optimization results in improved timing
closure and power integrity for advanced 7nm designs
- Genus™ Synthesis
Solution: Register-transfer level (RTL) physical synthesis
supports all the latest 7nm advanced-node requirements, resulting
in convergent design closure using the Innovus Implementation
System
- Conformal® Equivalence
Checking: Ensures the accuracy of logic changes and engineering
change orders (ECOs) during the implementation flow
- Conformal Low Power: Enables the
creation and validation of power intent in context of the design,
combining low-power equivalence checking with structural and
functional checks to allow full-chip verification of
power-efficient designs
- Tempus™ Timing Signoff
Solution: Offers path-based, signoff-accurate timing analysis,
and 7nm physically aware ECO design optimization, providing the
quickest path to tapeout
- Voltus™ IC Power
Integrity Solution: Static and dynamic analysis used during
implementation and signoff ensures optimal power distribution
design
- Quantus™ Extraction
Solution: Fulfills all 7nm advanced-node requirements to ensure
accurate correlation to final silicon
“The launch of Cortex-A77 delivers a number of enhancements,
offering customers the performance and efficiency leadership needed
for the latest smartphones, laptops and other mobile devices,” said
Ian Smythe, vice president of marketing, Client Line of Business,
at Arm. “Our collaboration with Cadence on the delivery of the RAK
enables partners to quickly bring optimized solutions to market
across emerging applications areas like 5G, augmented reality, and
machine learning.”
“We worked closely with Arm to optimize our advanced digital
implementation and signoff solutions for the Cortex-A77 processor
so customers can create 7nm designs that meet aggressive PPA
goals,” said Dr. Chin-Chi Teng, senior vice president and general
manager in the Digital & Signoff Group at Cadence. “Engineers
using the RAK can adopt Cadence and Arm technologies with
confidence that they can deliver competitive designs to market
faster.”
