DXCorr: Custom Design Gurus Working to Create PPA Magic

T he increasing complexity of system design requires that each processor core in an SoC (System on Chip) must be critically optimized to meet the power, performance, area (PPA), yield, and cost goals appropriate for the task that it is specifically designed to perform. This is necessitated by the typical requirement from a client in the VLSI universe the need to provide the best possible PPAL (power, performance, area and leakage global metrics of semiconductor design) in the shortest possible time frame. This is the sweet spot that every design house tries to achieve during project execution, and this is the constant challenge that DXCorr overcomes project after project. Thanks to its battle-tested core of domain experts and it’s enviable suite of in-house tools, successful...
