Oticon standardiserer omkring Synopsys EDA-værktøjer
Oticon har valgt Synopsys’ Design Compiler grafiske RTL syntese-løsning til udvikling af alle firmaet chips til brug i høreapparater (in english).
Synopsys has announced that Oticon, Inc., the Danish manufacturer of hearing solutions, has deployed Synopsys’ Design Compiler Graphical RTL synthesis solution for implementing all of its hearing solutions ICs.Minimising IC area and power consumption while maximising functionality and performance are key factors in delivering the smallest hearing aids with the best voice quality and feature set. To achieve these goals, Oticon has widely deployed Design Compiler Graphical’s congestion optimisations and MCMM synthesis technologies and is realising lower leakage, faster design performance and a highly convergent design flow, shortening schedules by weeks.
- Meeting aggressive power and area budgets within tight schedules is of primary importance for hearing solutions ICs, says Mogens Isager, lead developer, Physical IC Design at Oticon, Inc.
- With Design Compiler Graphical’s advanced congestion and MCMM optimisations, we are seeing 20 percent less congestion in high density cell areas, improved design frequency, lower leakage power and faster place and route runtimes, which enable us to meet all our design goals and save a few weeks of schedule. Design Compiler Graphical is now a standard component of our design flow.
Design Compiler Graphical addresses challenging design requirements at both established and emerging process nodes. It provides designers with visualisation of congested circuit regions and allows them to perform specialised synthesis optimisations to minimise congestion in these areas. Additionally, new optimisation technologies monotonically reduce design area and leakage power by an average of 15 percent while maintaining timing quality of results (QoR).
These capabilities in conjunction with MCMM synthesis and shared physical technologies with Synopsys’ IC CompilerTM place and route solution enable customers to achieve the best timing, area, power and routability QoR, reduce design iterations and deliver their products to market faster.
- Market leaders, such as Oticon, who differentiate their products by minimising power and area while maximising performance, rely on Design Compiler Graphical to achieve aggressive design objectives within tight schedules, says Bijan Kiani, vice president of marketing in Synopsys’ Design Group.
- Design Compiler Graphical’s innovative synthesis technologies and tight links with the Galaxy Design Platform enable our customers to accelerate delivery of industry leading products to their target markets
