Cadence Innovus helps Realtek successfully develop DTV SoC solution

Innovus enables larger designs and higher quality results for 28nm SoCs than previous generation solutions

Realtek urgently needed to deliver a larger and more complex DTV SoC within a tight timeline while meeting strict power consumption and area targets, and Innovus designed and implemented a system that could fully meet its requirements. Realtek has many years of experience using Cadence's previous generation floorplanning solution, so its design team can easily transition and design large modules more efficiently with the help of the Innovus design implementation system.

"As SoC design scale and area increase, top-level modules become larger and larger, which requires large-capacity implementation tools," said Huang Yiwei, vice president and corporate spokesperson of Realtek. "Cadence Innovus design implementation system helps us to improve the quality of results, accelerate design convergence, and make products more competitive when designing larger-scale modules."

The Innovus design implementation system is a massively parallel physical implementation system that helps engineers complete high-quality designs and shorten product time to market while meeting power, performance, and area (PPA) goals. The system is an integral part of the Cadence digital design platform and supports the Cadence system design implementation strategy, helping system and semiconductor companies to efficiently create complete and differentiated end products.
