The FINANCIAL — Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), one of the leaders in global electronic design innovation, on July 27 announced that LG Electronics has adopted the full line of Cadence Encounter Conformal products to improve engineering management and speed their time to market.
Products adopted include Conformal ECO Designer technologies for engineering change order (ECO) management; Conformal Constraint Designer for design constraints validation, compare, and hierarchical integration; and Conformal Low Power for verifying designs that incorporate advanced low-power features. With Conformal ECO technology in place, many functional ECOs are automatically implemented, freeing up valuable resources and increasing schedule predictability in the design of consumer electronic devices, according to press-release distributed by Marketwire.
"Conformal ECO Designer enables us to analyze and implement complex functional ECOs that are otherwise difficult and tedious to implement manually," said Woo Hyun Paik, research fellow vice president, DIS Group, System IC Business Team at LG Electronics. "With Conformal ECO Designer, we can focus on more important verification, design closure and signoff tasks, particularly during critical tape-out times. Conformal ECO Designer reduces our ECO implementation time from weeks to days, and it helps us evaluate ECO feasibility earlier in the process."
Cadence Conformal ECO Designer fits seamlessly into existing design implementation flows which makes it easy to adopt and deploy in production designs. With Conformal ECO Designer in place, designers can both estimate and implement ECOs within a few days.
"Cadence Conformal ECO Designer is a uniquely differentiated technology that provides significant productivity improvement and faster design closure at critical project junctures," said Nimish Modi, senior vice president of research and development for the Front End Group at Cadence. "The one-pass, integrated ECO flow saves customers money and time, while ensuring that functionality and timing requirements are met."
