Cadence Design Systems' Cadence Quantus QRC Extraction solution has been certified for TSMC 16nm FinFET. The solution successfully passed TSMC’s rigorous parasitic extraction certification requirements to achieve best-in-class accuracy against the foundry golden data for FinFET technology.

Delivering up to five times faster runtime for single and multi-corner extraction versus competing solutions, Cadence Design Systems has announced its next-generation tool for RC extraction. Quantus QRC Extraction solution accelerates design signoff and sets a new standard for performance with its massively parallel architecture.

Synopsys, Inc announced the immediate availability of a wide range of DesignWare interface, analog, logic library and embedded memory IP for TSMC's 28-nanometer (nm) high-performance compact (HPC) process. Synopsys' production-ready DesignWare IP reduces risks for designers who want to take advantage of the lower power consumption, area reduction and performance improvements that the TSMC 28HPC process offers. The DesignWare IP portfolio for the ...

Cadence Design Systems, Inc announced immediate availability of DDR4 PHY IP (intellectual property) built on TSMC’s 16nm FinFET process. The combination of 16nm technology and Cadence’s innovative architecture helps customers realize the maximum performance of the DDR4 standard, which is specified to scale up to 3200Mbps, as compared to today’s maximum of 2133Mbps for both DDR3 and DDR4 technologies. This technology enables serv...
