Operational Impact
Since adopting Conformal ECO Designer in 2010, Faraday has successfully used the tool on more than 30 ASIC tapeout designs. The team has experienced amazing runtime when Conformal ECO Designer accepts the ECO setting. Using Conformal ECO Designer, Faraday has developed a fast and efficient ECO flow to handle functional logic changes compared to its previous traditional manual process. This has not only improved the efficiency of the ECO process but also reduced the risk of quality issues and schedule slips. The solution has enabled Faraday to consistently provide highly differentiated ASIC, SoC, and IP designs to customers while achieving lower cost and faster time to market. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Achieved faster functional ECO implementation turnaround time by minimizing manual work and time-consuming iterations | |
Gained the ability to implement complex ECOs, a task nearly impossible using the traditional manual process | |
Achieved earlier netlist handoff to customers | |
