Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), a leader in global
electronic design innovation, today announced that Fujitsu Limited
has adopted the Cadence® Encounter® Conformal® ECO Designer to cut
costs and reduce design time in its engineering change order (ECO)
implementation flow. The technology giant recently deployed the
Cadence technology to tape out a network-control large-scale
integration design of 40 million gates at a 65-nanometer process.
"We are very pleased with our recent success using the Encounter
Conformal ECO Designer," said Takeo Asakawa, General Manager, LSI
Development Div, in the Next Generation Technical Computing Unit of
Fujitsu. "We had to implement several ECOs, some of them with 4,000
instances and they were very complex. I have no doubt the
technology saved us significant time and resources."
Encounter Conformal ECO Designer can play a significant role in
speeding time to market and boosting design quality for companies
seeking to narrow the productivity and profitability gaps outlined
in the EDA360 vision. The software helps design teams implement RTL
ECOs for pre- and post-mask layout. It combines automatic ECO
analysis and design netlist modification with world-class
equivalence checking to boost performance and productivity. This
unique technology combines logic equivalence checking with
functional ECO analysis and generation, design netlist
modification, clock domain synchronization, and semantics
checks.
By using Encounter Conformal ECO Designer Fujitsu was able to
start implementation before functional verification was completed,
cutting total development time by months. Even engineers not
familiar with logic design can tackle ECOs to implement late-stage
changes needed to improve design quality prior to
manufacturing.
"Fujitsu's recent success with the Encounter Conformal ECO
Designer is a good example of the time-to-market and quality
benefits that the right technology can bring to the path toward
Silicon Realization," said Bassilios Petrakis, director of product
management at Cadence. "Like many of our other customers, Fujitsu
was able to exploit this technology to give itself a competitive
boost."
