Cadence Midas Safety 2023.3 (23.03.002)

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. , the leader in global electronic design innovation, has released MIDAS Safety 2023.3 (23.03.002) is seamlessly integrated with all Cadence IC design flows to enable an FMEDA-driven design, analysis, verification, and implementation of analog/mixed-signal and digital semiconductors and IPs.


The Midas platform is a modular and open solution that can be easily tailored to different applications and use cases while having solid foundations in existing standards for functional safety. This is primarily why the Midas platform integrates a safety analysis engine supporting the ISO 26262 (automotive) and IEC 61508 (industrial) standards. The safety analysis engine can leverage estimated design information (e.g., area, number of flip flops or memory bits) provided by the user or use chip design data of Cadence IC design tools such as Genus (Synthesis), Innovus (Place & Route) or Xcelium (Fault simulation) to calculate the hardware safety metrics automatically. In addition, Midas provides a dedicated engine for the Base Failure Rate (BFR) calculation according to the reliability model for integrated circuits defined in the IEC TR 62380 standard. The BFR can be calculated after entering information such as semiconductor process technology, custom mission profiles, and package information. The Midas platform is seamlessly integrated with all Cadence IC design flows to enable an FMEDA-driven design, analysis, verification, and implementation of analog/mixed-signal and digital semiconductors and IPs. The integrated framework provides a workflow that guides the safety engineer through all the key steps, from FMEDA creation, safety analysis, safety verification and safety-aware implementation.
