Orca Semiconductor Is Optimizing Analog ICs

Orca Semiconductor is an analog mixed-signal semiconductor manufacturer. The company customizes analog ICs for wearables, such as smartwatches, as well as for industrial automation. Their value proposition is about addressing specific customer application needs to optimize their solution, whether it be for power optimization efficiency or connectivity. For design verification or debug and analysis, Orca Semiconductor uses Cadence cloud-based tools throughout its design flow.

As Orca Semiconductor’s methodology is metric-driven, the Cadence Verisium AI-Driven Verification Platform is used as a regression manager and for data analysis. It’s a fundamental tool to monitor the quality of their verification and progression. Cadence’s Xcelium Logic Simulator is used on the digital side of things alongside SimVision Debug, while the Genus Synthesis Solution is used as a synthesis tool, Innovus Implementation System is used as an implementation tool, and Tempus Timing Solution is used for time enclosure.

For Orca Semiconductor, the most significant advantage was the cloud-based aspect of all the tools. They were able to work on the design as quickly as possible without worrying about the IT infrastructure and EDA tool installation. Security was also a significant factor in their choosing Cadence OnCloud Managed Service, as their data remains safe and secure.
