What is EDA VLSI?

EDA is an abbreviation for electronic design automation. It is a software application that is used to develop electronic circuits. To ease the designing of integrated circuits on a large scale, companies use EDA tools. There are several EDA tools in the VLSI industry.

What is VLSI used for?

VLSI circuits are used everywhere, real applications include microprocessors in a personal computer or workstation, chips in a graphic card, digital camera or camcorder, chips in a cell phone or a portable computing device, and embedded processors in an automobile, et al.

Does VLSI require coding?

Even more basic understanding of electrical energy and also complete knowledge of electrical components such as inductor, capacitor resistor, and their mathematical behaviour is required for a VLSI design engineer. Than only comes the importance of HDL programming/coding.

What is the latest technology in VLSI?

CMOS has become the prevailing technology due to its high speed and packing density coupled with low power consumption. New technologies have emerged to further increase circuit speed and to reduce design and technology constraints. Examples are combined bipolar-CMOS (BICMOS) and CMOS in silicon on insulator (SOI).

What is Cadence IP?

The Cadence IP Factory provides you with an automated approach to the customization, delivery, and verification of SoC IP. Choosing Cadence IP enables you to design with confidence because you have more freedom to innovate your SoCs with less risk and faster time to market.

Does Intel use Cadence?

Using these design flows, customers can leverage the power, performance and area benefits of Intel’s 14nm process technology. Cadence is also delivering the LPDDR4-3200 PHY for Intel Custom Foundry’s 14nm Low Power design platform.
