SAN JOSE – Cadence Design Systems Inc. reported that Elan Microelectronics Corp. has validated its standard cell libraries and embedded memories using the Cadence Encounter Conformal Custom equivalence checking solution. Elan used the Custom’s formal equivalence checking methods to compare an RTL golden model to the corresponding transistor netlist.
Encounter Conformal Custom is reportedly able to find functional errors in transistor designs that traditional solutions, such as simulation and symbolic simulation, might not detect. It allegedly reduces design risk and silicon re-spins to enable faster time to market with better Quality of Silicon (QoS).
L.C. Lin, assistant director of electronic design automation department at Elan Microelectronics Corp, said, "Conformal Custom greatly improved the quality of our libraries by helping find a number of modeling inconsistencies and functional errors. Conformal Custom also ensures high-quality memory models by verifying the logic function of memory circuits with the RTL model. The memory models developed using Conformal Custom work seamlessly in our simulator and emulator."
