Alphawave Designs High-Quality, Complex Chips Quickly with Clarity 3D Solver

Alphawave Semi is a global leader in high-speed connectivity and compute silicon for customers in AI, data centers, 5G wireless infrastructure, data networking, autonomous vehicles, and storage. Faced with the exponential growth of data, the company’s leading-edge technology enables data to travel faster and more reliably using less power.

In this two-minute Designed with Cadence (DWC) video, Daniel Lambalot, senior principal engineer, and Dee Mehta, director of packaging, describe how Alphawave relies on Cadence tools thanks to their suitability for solving complex problems.

The company designs high-performance, high-power chips using a silicon interposer substrate with hundreds of high-speed serial/deserializer (SerDes) links. The challenge Alphawave designers face is completing their complex designs under extremely tight schedules without compromising on quality. “Clarity 3D Solver is a powerful tool that can easily handle large, complex designs,” says Dee Mehta, “In addition, Clarity Cloud provides us with very stable and powerful resources to handle our 112G SerDes interfaces.”

Alphawave designers also employ the Sigrity PowerDC electrical and thermal co-simulation and Sigrity PowerSI signal integrity analysis tools within the Sigrity X platform extensively because they work extremely well and enable them to complete their designs on time.
