Cadence Design Systems has launched the Cadence Safety Solution, a new offering aimed at safety-critical applications and providing integrated analog and digital safety flows and engines for faster ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 certification. The solution, which incorporates a new FMEDA offering called the Cadence Midas Safety Platform, enables customers to perform FMEDA-driven analog and digital verification of safety-critical semiconductors for advanced automotive, industrial and aerospace applications.
As state-of-the-art electronics launches the automotive, industrial and aerospace industries into a future of more connectivity and autonomy, the development of safety-compliant semiconductors is crucial. Developed to enhance automation, confidence and productivity associated with delivering compliance to functional safety standards, such as ISO26262, the solution offers new verification tools, including the Midas Safety Platform, vManager Safety Manager and Xcelium Safety Simulator. Additionally, the safety solution consists of existing verification, design, analog and digital tools, including the Cadence Jasper Functional Safety Verification App, Legato Reliability Solution, Genus Synthesis Solution, Innovus Implementation System, Spectre Simulation Platform, Modus DFT Software Solution and Conformal Equivalence Checker.
“Semiconductor development for automotive applications presents a host of challenges that the entire supply chain needs to address, including rigorous safety certifications required to achieve compliance with the ISO 26262 standard,” said Paul Cunningham, corporate vice president and general manager of the System and Verification Group at Cadence. “With the new Cadence Safety Solution, customers have access to the Midas Safety Platform, which fully integrates with Cadence design and verification flows, including vManager Safety Manager, Xcelium Safety Simulator, Jasper FSV App, Genus Synthesis Solution, and Spectre Simulation Platform, offering improved productivity and accelerated safety compliance.”
The solution includes flows and engines enhanced for advanced safety design and verification.
