- AI-powered Cadence Virtuoso Studio automates circuit
optimization of IC design migration across TSMC’s process
technologies
- New generative design technology delivers up to 3X reduction in
design migration time
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced the
expansion of its node-to-node design migration flow based on the
Cadence® Virtuoso® Studio, which is compatible with all TSMC
advanced nodes, including the latest N3E and N2 process
technologies. This generative design migration flow was developed
by Cadence and TSMC to provide joint customers with a simplified
and automated approach to migrating custom and analog IC designs
among TSMC’s advanced process technologies. Customers already using
the flow have successfully reduced migration time by up to 3X when
compared with manual migration.
Virtuoso Studio facilitates the migration of schematic cells,
parameters, pins and wiring from one TSMC process node to another.
The Virtuoso ADE Suite’s simulation and circuit optimization
environment then tunes and optimizes the new schematic to ensure
the design achieves all required specifications and measurements.
Cadence and TSMC customers can then automatically recognize and
extract groups of devices in an existing layout, and apply them to
similar groups in the new layout, using Virtuoso Layout Suite’s
generative design technology.
This flow allows customers to migrate a wide range of analog
designs on TSMC process technologies. TSMC process nodes supported
by this flow include:
- N40 to N22
- N22 to N12
- N12 to N6
- N6 to N4
- N5 to N3E
- N4/N5 to N3E
- N3E to N2
“Many TSMC customers are looking to migrate legacy designs to
TSMC advanced processes to take full advantage of the higher
performance and lower power benefits that TSMC provides,” said Dan
Kochpatcharin, head of the Design Infrastructure Management
Division at TSMC. “We have worked closely with Cadence to offer our
mutual customers the ability to easily migrate their valuable
custom IP. These enhanced PDKs and methodologies simplify and
accelerate the design migration process and speed time to
market.”
“Through the expansion of our collaboration with TSMC on
custom/analog process migration, our joint customers benefit from
our generative technologies that make custom/analog migration
simpler and less time-consuming,” said Tom Beckley, senior vice
president and general manager in the Custom IC & PCB Group at
Cadence. “Using our new Virtuoso Studio, we’ve developed an
advanced migration flow to help our mutual customers be more
productive and meet stringent time-to-market goals.”
Cadence Virtuoso Studio supports the Cadence Intelligent System
Design™ strategy, enabling system-on-chip (SoC) design excellence.
