Accelerating Silicon Success with Cadence’s Digital Full Flow

In today's competitive semiconductor landscape, time-to-market, power efficiency, and silicon reliability are vital benchmarks. Whether you're designing high-performance, power-efficient devices or leveraging AI to make them intelligent, your design flow must be fast, robust, and scalable.

Cadence's Digital Full Flow is engineered to meet these demands. It's not just a collection of tools, it's a unified, AI-enhanced platform that delivers RTL-to-GDSII convergence with industry-leading PPA and productivity.

Core Engines Powering the Digital Journey

These R&D engines are tightly integrated, enabling full-flow automation and delivering superior design convergence.

Solutions Fueling the Digital Full Flow

Digital Full Flow's Real-World Impact

Cadence's Digital Full Flow has been deployed across the top 20 semiconductor companies, with over 350 tapeouts at 5nm and below. Notably, it powered the industry's first large-scale 3nm production tapeout and continues to lead at 2nm nodes.

For example, a GPU design using Cadence Cerebrus^® Intelligent Chip Explorer achieved a 10X productivity boost, reducing total turnaround time from 84 days to just 10, while slashing compute jobs by two-thirds.

Cadence's Vision: Driving Silicon Design Excellence

Cadence's Digital Full Flow is more than a suite of tools—it's a strategic framework that aligns with the future of silicon design. With AI and cloud enablement, 3D-IC leadership, and differentiated signoff closure, Cadence empowers design engineers to innovate confidently and deliver best-in-class PPA.
