Boston, MA 06/04/2014 (wallstreetpr) – Yesterday, Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CDNS) together with Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC), announced that the two companies are collaborating in order to support Intel’s technology involving 14nm Tri-gate process.
The two companies have already enabled a range of custom or analog flow, which includes, Spectre® APS, Virtuoso Layout Suite, Virtuoso Analog Design Environment and Virtuoso® Schematic Editor for the 14nm Tri-Gate process. Other than those, the two companies are also integrating their operations to develop Encounter Digital implementation system, Tempus Timing Signoff solution and QRC Extraction Solution for Cadence digital flow. Through these design flows, the customer of Intel can benefit from the power, area and performance of its 14nm process technology.
Fit For Mobile Market
Alongside this, Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CDNS) is also involved in providing low power platform for the LPDDR4-3200 PHY to Intel’s 14nm custom foundry. The platform has data rates as high as 3200 Mbps and memory clock of 1.6 GHz, which could help to fully realize the capabilities of LPDDR4 technology. Cadence technology is best fit for the mobile market, which is in constant lookout of high memory performance, low cost, low power and compact size systems. Cadence’s technology is appropriate for the mobile market as its LPDDR4-3200 PHY IP could support package on package (POP) and is also backward compatible.
Energy Efficient
Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) Custom Foundry is designed with Intel’s 14nm and 22nm Tri-gate process technology, wherein its 14nm system-on-chip platform is specifically meant for mobile applications and cloud infrastructure. Intel’s 14nm platform uses 3-D Tri-Gate transistors that allow chips to function at lower voltage, thereby, facilitating energy efficiency and improved performance as against the earlier state-of-the-art transistors.
Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CDNS) is a frontrunner in the electronic design automation and is a key role played in innovating and developing a range of integrated circuits and electronics that exist at present times.
