Cadence Full-Flow Digital and Signoff Tools and Custom/Analog Tools Certified and Enabled for Intel 22FFL Process Technology

Design flow provides optimal PPA for Intel Custom Foundry customer base

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 19, 2017 – Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that its full-flow digital and signoff tools and its custom/analog tools have been certified/enabled for the Intel® 22FFL (FinFET Low-Power) process, which provides up to 100X lower leakage and a 2.5X active power reduction compared with its previous 22GP (general purpose) offering. Intel Custom Foundry utilized a PowerVR GT7200 graphics processing unit (GPU) from Imagination Technologies as part of the certification process.

The Cadence® flow, available to Intel Custom Foundry customers now, provides designers with optimal power, performance and area (PPA) for the creation of advanced-node mobile and embedded devices. To learn more about the Cadence full-flow digital and signoff solutions in the flow, visit www.cadence.com/go/intel22ffldands. For information about the Cadence custom/analog solutions in the flow, visit www.cadence.com/go/intel22fflcanda.

The tool certification and enablement provide Intel Custom Foundry customers with a complete and integrated system-on-chip (SoC) design flow. The following Cadence tools are included in the flow:

Intel's new 22FFL process delivers transistor drive currents on par with Intel's 14nm technology. It has single patterned interconnects and simplified design rules for ease of use. For more information, please contact Intel Custom Foundry.

"Since 2011, Intel has delivered over 7 million FinFET wafers, and the new 22FFL process leverages all of that manufacturing experience to create a differentiating design platform for next generation IoT and entry mobile products," said Dr. Changhong Dai, vice president, Technology and Manufacturing Group, and director, Technology Optimization Solutions at Intel Custom Foundry. "Intel Custom Foundry has worked closely with Cadence to deliver a complete design ecosystem for our customers who are creating innovative FinFET designs. The certified Cadence digital and signoff tools and custom/analog tools combined with the comprehensive Intel Custom Foundry 22FFL platform offer our mutual customers a complete and integrated flow to help them achieve optimal PPA on Intel's 22FFL process technology."

Mark Dickinson, executive vice president, PowerVR, Imagination Technologies, said, "Our PowerVR XT family of GPUs is designed to enable advanced graphics and efficient GPU compute performance for a wide range of mobile and embedded devices. The collaboration with Intel Custom Foundry and Cadence has enabled us to ensure the Cadence design flow provides great efficiencies on the new Intel Custom Foundry 22FFL process."

"Our collaboration on the certification process provides customers with added confidence that they can overcome design complexities using the Cadence flow on Intel Custom Foundry's 22FFL design platform," said KT Moore, vice president, product management in the Digital & Signoff Group at Cadence. "Intel Custom Foundry customers can now create differentiated SoCs on the new Intel 22FFL process using trusted, certified Cadence tools that can enable designers to deliver products to market faster."
