Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :CDNS CDNS Cadence Design Systems, Inc (stock symbol) CDNS Climatological Data National Summary CDNS Command Data Network System CDNS Customer and Data Network Services (Sprint) ) to jointly develop an RTL-to-GDSII Reference Flow, the DBE DBE abbr. Dame Commander of the British Empire DBE Dame (Commander of the Order) of the British Empire 130.2 Reference Flow. The flow, based on the Cadence(R) Encounter(R) Digital IC design platform, provides a proven solution for volume production of chips at the 130-nanometer node. In addition, Dongbu has joined the Cadence Foundry Program as an Advocate Partner to enhance delivery of combined solutions to customers. "Our collaboration with Cadence has been very productive, and we are quite happy with the results from the new Reference Flow," said Dr. Jae Song, Executive Vice President, Dongbu Electronics. "We look forward to leveraging fully our participation in the Cadence Foundry Program to enable more advanced solutions for our customers in the coming months." The new Reference Flow is a complete front to back solution, including RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; and gate-level simulation and equivalence checking. It includes power optimization through clock-gating insertion, as well as proven prevention of signal-integrity problems through analysis and repair. The Cadence Foundry Program builds alliances with foundries to create and deliver comprehensive design kits and reference flows for mainstream and advanced process technologies. Cadence collaborates with its foundry partners to help ensure that engineers using Cadence technology have a smooth and efficient path from design through physical implementation. "Cadence is collaborating with all leading foundries to provide a comprehensive set of options to design engineers," said Jan Willis, senior vice president, Industry Alliances, at Cadence. "The successful collaboration with Dongbu Electronics sets a milestone for Cadence in Korea, and another example of how leading-edge Cadence solutions provide a viable way to working silicon for customers world-wide." The Reference Flow incorporates the Cadence SoC Encounter(R) System, Encounter RTL Compiler global synthesis, VoltageStorm(R) power grid verification, Encounter Conformal(R) verification technologies, Cadence QRC QRC Quick Reference Card QRC Queensland Resources Council (Australia; formerly Queensland Mining Council) QRC Queer Resource Center QRC Quick Reaction Capability QRC Queen's Royal College (Port of Spain, Trinidad) Extraction, and Assura(TM) DRC/LVS physical verification. Cadence and Dongbu Electronics also are jointly developing Process Design Kits (PDKs) for several Dongbu Electronics process technologies. These PDKs provide the crucial link between foundry process data and the tools used in custom, analog, and mixed-signal design methodologies. Dongbu Electronics uses the Cadence Virtuoso(R) custom design platform and these PDKs to develop physical IP. About Dongbu Electronics Dongbu Electronics provides world-class CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. processing for system-on-chip solutions that integrate advanced logic, analog, and mixed-signal technologies. As a "Specialty Solution Partner" in high-growth markets, such as those represented by mobile handsets and flat-panel displays, Dongbu adds high value with specialized processing for CMOS Image Sensor A CMOS-based chip that records the intensities of light as variable charges similar to a CCD chip. Although initially used in less expensive digital cameras, the quality of CMOS sensors has improved steadily. CMOS sensors have advantages over CCDs. (CIS Cis (sĭs), same as Kish (1.)
