Fujitsu encounters first-pass
success 66 times
Cadence Design Systems has helped Fujitsu to successfully achieve first-pass silicon on 66 consecutive designs
The designs were enabled by a standardised reference design flow based on Cadence Encounter IC implementation technology. Leveraging the benefits of its global Premier Design Partner agreement with Cadence, Fujitsu developed a reference flow based on the Encounter digital IC design platform.

STMicroelectronics has used the Encounter digital IC design platform and system-in-package design technology on its industry-first 65nm dual HD decoder
This reference flow has been broadly deployed at Fujitsu's worldwide design centres and by their COT partners.
The designs were at 90 and 130 nanometres.
All were developed on Fujitsu's world-class advanced process technologies.
Included among the 90 nanometre designs was a design for high-end cellular phones with an extremely strict low-power specification.
Fujitsu's low power process technologies using copper wires and low-k dielectrics, and Encounter's low-power solutions helped Fujitsu reduce power consumption by 83%.
This greatly enhanced Fujitsu's position as a leading low-power chip supplier for the cellular phone series.
'We are extremely pleased that our global collaboration with Cadence has produced such tremendous success so quickly', said Kazuyuki Kawauchi, Executive Vice President of Fujitsu Microelectronics America 'We are working with Cadence in other areas, and I'm confident that we will see many further tangible achievements coming up over the next few years'.
'Fujitsu's ability to achieve 66 first-pass silicon successes in such a short period of time is a direct result of the PDP agreement we signed with this important customer last year', said Ryoichi Kawashima, President, Cadence Japan.
'I am very pleased with this milestone in the progress of our ongoing commitment to our customers' success'.
'Fujitsu is known as one of the most successful semiconductor vendors at the 90-nanometre process node', said Wei-Jin Dai, Platform Vice President, Digital IC Implementation at Cadence.
'It is our pleasure to announce that the advantages of Cadence Encounter products on signal-integrity-based timing closure and low power were proven on Fujitsu's leading-edge process technologies'.
'We sincerely appreciate all of Fujitsu's efforts in maximising the benefits of Encounter'.
