The new Cadence RAK lets customers using the new Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 CPUs:


    --  Experience a quick path to implementation via a full-flow digital and
        signoff reference methodology that provides optimal power, performance
        and area (PPA). The methodology incorporates the Cadence Genus((TM))
        Synthesis Solution, Innovus((TM)) Implementation System, Quantus((TM))
        QRC Extraction Solution, Tempus((TM)) Timing Signoff Solution,
        Modus((TM)) Test Solution and multiple Conformal(®) products
    --  Achieve fast runtimes and efficient design closure through the
        integrated Cadence multi-mode, multi-corner RTL-to-GDS flow, including
        the GigaPlace((TM)) Engine for power domain-aware placement, CCOpt((TM))
        Optimizer for low-power clock distribution and Tempus Timing Signoff
        Solution for final signoff-driven design closure to reduce total power
    --  Implement IoT devices using the complete Cadence low-power,
        multiple-power-domain flow using IEEE 1801 standard constraints,
        multi-bit cell insertion and the GigaOpt((TM)) Optimizer for dynamic and
        leakage power optimization in the Innovus Implementation System

"To deliver on the full potential of IoT, we need innovative, secure and optimized embedded solutions that can be rapidly delivered from concept to market," said Nandan Nayampally, vice president of marketing and strategy, CPU Group, ARM. "Our new ARM Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 processors are designed to provide a secure, energy-efficient foundation for the most constrained IoT applications. The latest Cadence RAK will support customers using these cores, enabling them to enhance their development environments to quickly differentiate themselves with ultra low-power IoT devices."

"We worked closely with ARM to optimize our advanced digital implementation and signoff solutions with the ARM Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 processors, so our customers can start creating innovative, connected IoT designs immediately," said Dr. Anirudh Devgan, senior vice president and general manager of the Digital & Signoff Group and the System & Verification Group at Cadence. "Designers using the RAK can adopt our technologies with confidence while also benefiting from reduced turnaround times."
