Arm's latest advanced mobile platform successfully achieved SoC tapeout
Synopsys announced that early adopters of Arm’s latest advanced mobile platforms (including Arm Cortex-A76, Cortex-A55 and Arm Mali-G76 processors) have adopted the Synopsys design platform that includes Fusion technology, Verification ConTInuum Platform, and DesignWare interface IP, successfully realized SoC tape-out. In addition, QuickStart ImplementaTIon Kits (QIKs) for Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55 are now available, which can speed time to market and optimize performance, power consumption and area (PPA).
Deirdre Hanford, the global general manager of Synopsys’ design division, said: “The early and in-depth cooperation between Arm and Synopsys is the basis for Arm’s latest advanced mobile platforms (including Arm Cortex-A76, Cortex-A55 and Arm Mali-G76 processors). The early adopters achieved successful tapeout. Synopsys design platform using Fusion technology, VerificaTIon ConTInuum Platform and DesignWare interface IP work together to provide optimized performance, power consumption and area, and accelerate the time to market for Arm-based products .
The Synopsys design platform using Fusion technology can optimize the design and implementation of the new mobile core:
• Use Design Compiler Graphical and IC Compiler II layout and routing system for design and implementation of 7nm and below process nodes.
• Use automatic density control and timing-driven layout to achieve higher performance.
• The entire process clock and data path (CCD) synchronization optimization results in lower power consumption.
• Signoff convergence uses PrimeTime based on PBA, ECO with power recovery, exhaustive PBA, and StarRC multi-angle simultaneous extraction.
• Through the RedHawk Analysis Fusion signoff driving process in IC Compiler II, it provides early accelerated power integrity and reliability design optimization.
Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55's QIK (including design implementation scripts and reference guides) utilize the new Fusion technology to provide better PPA and faster turnaround time. QIK adopts Arm Artisan POP technology optimized for Arm mobile processors under 7nm process technology. In order to help designers achieve their design goals quickly and confidently, Synopsys provides "hardening" Arm processor design services based on rich experience; available services include from QuickStart design implementation to turnkey The processor core is "hardened".
Early adopters of Arm’s new advanced mobile platform have extensively used Synopsys’ Verification Continuum solutions in their tape-out projects, including:
• Synopsys’ prototyping solutions, including the Virtualizer Development Kit (VDK) series for Arm processors, using Arm rapid models, which can be used for Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55, and HAPS FPGA-based prototyping.
• Suitable for Arm Cortex-A processor, Synopsys VCS simulation using fine-grained parallel technology and verification IP for Arm AMBA interconnection.
• Synopsys ZeBu hardware emulation.
Early adopters of Arm’s new advanced mobile platform use Synopsys’ high-quality DesignWare interface IP to rapidly develop mobile device SoCs. DesignWare IP for the mobile market includes controllers and physical layers that support USB, DDR, PCI Express, MIPI, and mobile storage interfaces. The market shipments have reached billions so far.
Nandan Nayampally, vice president and general manager of customer business of Arm, said: "Arm and Synopsys have worked with Synopsys to participate in the development of our new advanced mobile IP products at an early stage. We enable early adopters to accelerate the design to market and optimize at the same time. Solutions for power consumption, performance and area were successfully taped out."

PLC, that is, planar optical waveguide, that is to say, the optical waveguide is located in a plane.
As everyone is familiar with single-layer circuit boards, all circuits are located in a plane of the substrate. Therefore, PLC is a kind of technology, it does not refer to a certain type of product, let alone a splitter! Our most common PLC splitter is made of silicon dioxide (SiO2). In fact, PLC technology involves a wide range of materials, such as glass/silicon dioxide (Quartz/Silica/SiO2), lithium niobate (LiNbO3), III-V semiconductor compounds (such as InP, GaAs, etc.), silicon-on-insulator (SOI/SIMOX), silicon oxynitride (SiON), polymer, etc.
Devices based on planar optical waveguide technology solutions include: Splitter, Star coupler, Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA), Optical switch, Optical comb ( Interleaver) and Array Waveguide Grating (AWG), etc. According to the requirements of different applications (such as response time, ambient temperature, etc.), these devices can be made by choosing different material systems and processing techniques. It is worth mentioning that these devices are all optical passive devices and are independent. They can be combined with each other or with other active devices to form high-end devices with different functions.
