“Through our collaboration with Samsung Foundry and our focus on semiconductor design excellence across all aspects of the design and verification flow, we’re enabling our customers to deliver the next generation of automotive and safety-critical systems,” said Alessandra Nardi, automotive solution engineering group director at Cadence. “Samsung Foundry has confirmed, through certification, that our flow is ready for use, and we look forward to collaborating with customers using this new flow that is optimized for automotive designs.”
The Cadence automotive reference flow, including the digital and signoff, verification and custom IC design suites, provides customers with a faster path to design closure and better predictability. The reference flow supports the company’s Intelligent System Design™ strategy, facilitating advanced-node system-on-chip (SoC) design excellence for automotive applications. Furthermore, the Cadence tools in the automotive reference flow are included in automotive Functional Safety Documentation Kits, which have achieved the “Fit for Purpose – Tool Confidence Level 1 (TCL1)” certification, enabling automotive semiconductor manufacturers, OEMs and component suppliers to meet stringent ISO 26262 automotive safety requirements.
