An uptick on Automotive Safety Solutions using Cadence Implementation Tools
DescriptionAn explosion in automotive applications in the form of driverless cars, complex space explorations, aviation advancements has made it mandatory for the Design and EDA community to come up with solutions focused on the safety of such devices. There have been earlier attempts to explore safety-based features as a separate or an add-on requirement once the design is fabricated for integrating purposes. It required long turnaround times and endless back and forth iterations of design modifications to cater to system level requirements. Moreover, these safety requirements always came with a cost to PPA and this was considered as a non-negotiable aspect of safety implementation. This was due to the lack of an industry standard approach to pass on the information of proper specification, implementation, and modelling of safety critical systems through the Implementation flow from Synthesis till Routing.

This paper discusses the industry standard solution from Cadence Design Systems using Unified Safety Format (USF) by Midas Safety Platform that can be seamlessly passed on to Implementation tools like Genus, Innovus and Conformal to provide best in class PPA aware Safety Intent Driven Implementation and Verification of chips targeted for automotive devices.
