The IC design platform of digital speed GPS chip design

Global electronic design innovation leader Cadence system design company recently announced that the navigation and entertainment system (NIS) chip system platform leader palm Micro Technology (CentralityCommunications), with a global integrated technology of Cadence? Encounter? RTLCompiler and EncounterConformal? EquivalenceChecker design tools, success has accelerated its chip physical design process. And greatly reduce the chip size. With the help of Cadence advanced design tools, the chip design cycle is short, the silicon chip (QoS) quality is high, the product has the market competition ability. Palm micro technology is a fabless semiconductor company system, the development of the chip is mainly used for vehicle navigation equipment, handheld GPS and DVD systems and other embedded applications. In the CentralityAtlas series? Navigation processor chip design, palm micro technology using CadenceEncounterRTLCompilerXL and EncounterConformalEquivalenceChecker design tools for navigation and entertainment system (NIS) market has brought a new standard in the function and value. Palm micro technology is also under the help of Cadence technology to successfully resolve the design bottleneck in the project, the project to save up to half a month's time, greatly accelerated the speed of the product market.

"Today's GPS systems require low power consumption and small size as much as possible the single chip solution. EncounterRTLCompilerXL and EncounterConformalEquivalenceChecker with global integration technology help us solve these problems, and successfully provide the market needs of the program." Palm micro technology director Zhang Hongyu (Hong-yuZhang) said.

With global integrated EncounterRTLCompiler technology enables the design team to play a better level, in a shorter period of time, the design of more competitive products. At present, the world's more than and 200 companies have been in consumer electronics, communications, networking, graphics and other highly complex product design uses the advanced Encounter technology.

EncounterConformalEquivalenceChecker using self-developed technology verification system on chip (SoC) from the RTL to the layout design. EncounterConformalEquivalenceChecker provides the only complete equivalence checking (EquivalenceCheck) solutions to verify many circuit types, including complex arithmetic logic, data flow, memory and custom logic, and can perform the verification task in low power consumption.

Cadence global vice president and President of the Asia Pacific region multi said: "today, the market demand for single chip GPS navigation equipment continued to show growth trend. Cadence industry-leading Encounter solutions can help our customers to enhance their competitiveness in the rapidly developing market."

With global integrated technology is the core technology of CadenceEncounter EncounterRTLCompiler and EncounterConformalEquivalenceChecker IC digital design platform, and it is also an important part of CadenceLogicDesignTeamSolution. EncounterRTLCompiler with global integrated technology can now provide L, XL and GXL three programs, you can better meet the needs of customers in different levels of complexity design.
