Dongbu Electronics Collaborates with Cadence to Deliver RTL-GDSII Reference Flow; Dongbu Joins Cadence Foundry Program to Enhance Delivery of Advanced Solutions to Customers
SEOUL, South Korea—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 24, 2006—
Dongbu Electronics today announced that it has
collaborated with Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDNS) to
jointly develop an RTL-to-GDSII Reference Flow, the DBE 130.2
Reference Flow. The flow, based on the Cadence(R) Encounter(R) Digital
IC design platform, provides a proven solution for volume production
of chips at the 130-nanometer node. In addition, Dongbu has joined the
Cadence Foundry Program as an Advocate Partner to enhance delivery of
combined solutions to customers.
"Our collaboration with Cadence has been very productive, and we
are quite happy with the results from the new Reference Flow," said
Dr. Jae Song, Executive Vice President, Dongbu Electronics. "We look
forward to leveraging fully our participation in the Cadence Foundry
Program to enable more advanced solutions for our customers in the
coming months."
The new Reference Flow is a complete front to back solution,
including RTL and gate-level simulation and equivalence checking. It
includes power optimization through clock-gating insertion, as well as
proven prevention of signal-integrity problems through analysis and
repair.
The Cadence Foundry Program builds alliances with foundries to
create and deliver comprehensive design kits and reference flows for
mainstream and advanced process technologies. Cadence collaborates
with its foundry partners to help ensure that engineers using Cadence
technology have a smooth and efficient path from design through
physical implementation.
"Cadence is collaborating with all leading foundries to provide a
comprehensive set of options to design engineers," said Jan Willis,
senior vice president, Industry Alliances, at Cadence. "The successful
collaboration with Dongbu Electronics sets a milestone for Cadence in
Korea, and another example of how leading-edge Cadence solutions
provide a viable way to working silicon for customers world-wide."
The Reference Flow incorporates the Cadence SoC Encounter(R)
System, Encounter RTL Compiler global synthesis, VoltageStorm(R) power
grid verification, Encounter Conformal(R) verification technologies,
Cadence QRC Extraction, and Assura(TM) DRC/LVS physical verification.
Cadence and Dongbu Electronics also are jointly developing Process
Design Kits (PDKs) for several Dongbu Electronics process
technologies. These PDKs provide the crucial link between foundry
process data and the tools used in custom, analog, and mixed-signal
design methodologies. Dongbu Electronics uses the Cadence Virtuoso(R)
custom design platform and these PDKs to develop physical IP.
