SAN JOSE, Calif., May 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadence Design
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that its digital,
signoff and custom/analog tools are enabled on Samsung Electronics'
7LPP and 8LPP process technologies. The 7LPP and 8LPP process
technologies continue to deliver power, performance and area
optimizations with additional scaling benefits over previous
generations of advanced FinFET nodes, and customers can begin
working on early designs using these next-generation
technologies.
The Cadence custom/analog, digital and signoff tools meet
Samsung's requirements, which can enable foundry customers to
create complex, advanced-node mobile and other vertical market
designs using Samsung's 7LPP and 8LPP process technologies. To
