Overview
Aaroh Labs, located in Pune, Maharashtra, India, specializes in advanced-node semiconductor designs for market segments including storage, data centers, computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The company, known for its turnkey offerings, has a team of engineers with expertise in semiconductor solutions, analog design and layout, and system solutions. Aaroh Labs needed design and verification solutions to quickly get advanced-node SoCs off the ground and into its customers' end products.
Challenges
Aaroh Labs faced several significant challenges:
- Increased Complexity in SoCs: Applications such as storage, data centers, and the IoT are driving increased complexity in SoCs. Power, performance, and area (PPA) targets are more aggressive than ever, as is the need to get products to market quickly.
- Emerging Competition from Systems Companies: The landscape in chip design has changed, with traditional semiconductor companies being joined by systems companies in developing SoCs. However, not all of these systems companies have extensive chip design teams.
Solution
Aaroh Labs turned to 草榴社区 to replace its incumbent design and verification flow. Leveraging the 草榴社区 Fusion Design Platform?, Custom Design Platform, and Verification Continuum? Platform, Aaroh Labs could address its challenges head-on.
Fusion Design Platform: AI-enhanced and cloud-ready, this platform offers integrated engines across synthesis, place-and-route, and signoff, ensuring full-flow quality-of-results and time-to-results. Key features include:
- IC Compiler?II for machine-learning-driven place-and-route.
- IC Validator for cloud-optimized physical signoff.
- PrimeTime? for golden timing signoff.
Custom Design Platform: Accelerates robust analog and mixed-signal designs with tools like:
- PrimeSim? Continuum for circuit simulation.
- Custom Compiler? for full-custom analog, digital, and mixed-signal IC design.
Verification Continuum Platform: Enhances design verification with tools such as:
- 草榴社区 Verdi? for automated debug.
- 草榴社区 VCS? for functional verification.
- 草榴社区 VC Formal for formal verification.
- 草榴社区 VC SpyGlass? for RTL static signoff.
- 草榴社区 ZeBu? for emulation.
Results
The implementation of 草榴社区’ solutions yielded significant results for Aaroh Labs:
- Reduced Power Consumption: The integrated design and verification solutions contributed to more power-efficient designs.
- Successful Design Closure: The robust tools enabled Aaroh Labs to achieve successful design closure, meeting the stringent requirements for their advanced-node SoCs.
- Timely Project Delivery: The high-performance solutions facilitated on-time project delivery, crucial for meeting market demands.
With these solutions in place, Aaroh Labs is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory, delivering high-quality, differentiated semiconductor products to its diverse client base.
