Synopsys has announced that its AI-driven digital and analog design flows have achieved certification on Samsung Foundry's SF2 process with multiple test chip tapeouts. This certification validates the product readiness of its digital and analog design flows, enhanced by Synopsys.ai full-stack EDA suite, for Samsung's latest Gate-All-Around (GAA) process technologies. The optimized design flows offer significant improvements in performance, power, and area (PPA) with reported gains of 12% higher performance, 25% power reduction, and 5% area reduction.
Additionally, the collaboration includes proven Synopsys IP on Samsung SF2, reducing integration risk and supporting 2.5D/3D heterogeneous integration. Synopsys' innovations in backside routing and nanosheet cell design further enhance the efficiency of designing for Samsung's GAA processes. The announcement also highlights the expanded Synopsys.ai collaboration, including Synopsys ASO.ai for faster analog design migration, and the availability of a multi-die design reference flow and UCIe IP for SF2.
Synopsys announced the industry’s first complete PCIe 7.0 IP solution, featuring a controller, IDE security module, PHY, and verification IP, aimed at improving bandwidth and latency for high-performance computing (HPC) and AI workloads. This PCIe 7.0 solution achieves data transfer rates of up to 512 GB/s, with up to 50% power efficiency improvement compared to previous versions. The solution offers data confidentiality, integrity, and replay protection. Synopsys will demonstrate this technology at the PCI-SIG DevCon on June 12-13, 2024, highlighting its integration with ecosystem partners. The PCIe 7.0 IP is expected to be generally available in early 2025.
