Cadence Digital Design Implementation (DDI) System 23.14.000-ISR4 – Advanced SoC Physical Design Suite for Linux

Cadence Digital Design Implementation (DDI) System is an all-in-one installation of three industry-leading tools—Genus Synthesis Solution, Joules RTL Power Solution, and Innovus Implementation System—providing engineers with seamless integration and a unified environment to address the growing complexity of digital SoC (System-on-Chip) design.

This suite is built to deliver high-quality chip designs that meet aggressive Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) targets, while accelerating time-to-market.

🧩 What Is Cadence DDI System?

The DDI System combines:

Innovus for physical implementation
Genus for RTL synthesis and early physical-aware synthesis
Joules for RTL-level power estimation and analysis

Together, these tools provide a tight integration for advanced design tasks like:

Physical-aware synthesis and optimization
Cross-stage timing correlation
Datapath area reduction
Power-aware design exploration

🧰 Key Features of Cadence DDI System

🔧 1. Innovus Implementation System

Massive parallel physical implementation engine
Delivers high-quality, high-performance layout results
Targets aggressive PPA metrics
Fully supports iSpatial, physical re-synthesis, Power Replay, and Smart XOR technologies
Accelerates convergence from RTL to GDSII

🔧 2. Genus Synthesis Solution

Next-gen RTL and physically-aware synthesis tool
Up to 10x RTL design productivity and 5x faster runtime
Precise timing and wirelength correlation (within 5% of final layout)
Reduces iteration loops between block-level and top-level synthesis by up to 2x
Achieves up to 20% datapath area savings with no performance compromise

🔧 3. Joules RTL Power Estimation

Accurately estimates RTL power early in the design cycle
