NEC Adopts Apache’s Dynamic Power Sign-off Solution for SoC Designs

Apache Design Solutions announced that the Computers Division of NEC Corporation has adopted Apache’s RedHawk, a full-chip dynamic power sign-off solution, for an accurate and high performance analysis and optimization of their SoC designs. NEC selected RedHawk based on its ability to handle large scale, high performance SoC designs for their systems, as well as for its sign-off accuracy and ease-of-use.

“Productivity and reliability are key criteria for our computing systems,” said Koji Saga, department manager at the CAD Engineering Department, Computers Division of NEC. “RedHawk offers fast tool bring-up, robust decoupling capacitance (de-cap) optimization, and comprehensive reporting. With RedHawk, we are able to perform full-chip dynamic analysis with sign-off accuracy of our designs thus improving our productivity and increasing our confidence in tape-out success.”
