XConn successfully achieved first-pass silicon success for its groundbreaking CXL 2.0 switch SoC by utilizing Synopsys’ specialized semiconductor design software and silicon-proven IP solutions. Engineering the world’s first memory-pooling switch required maximizing throughput and minimizing latency on complex FinFET processes while maintaining strict timing at one gigahertz. Synopsys’ advanced electronic design automation software solved these performance bottlenecks by providing automated integration and verification environments for critical CXL and PCI Express building blocks. By replacing traditional, unverified design paths with this intelligent software solution, XConn eliminated severe hardware integration risks. Ultimately, Synopsys’ specialized software optimized engineering work
