Case Study: Celestial AI achieves 5X faster design closure with Cadence Quantus Insight Solution

Celestial AI cuts RC debugging time 5X with Cadence

Celestial AI, a developer of photonic interconnect technology for AI systems, faced significant challenges in its design process. Analyzing massive parasitic extraction (DSPF) files was extremely time-consuming, causing delays in identifying the root causes of issues and leading to multiple design iterations that slowed time to market. To address these bottlenecks, Celestial AI adopted the Cadence Quantus Insight Solution within its Virtuoso Studio environment.

The solution from Cadence provided intelligent RC debugging and optimization capabilities. It drastically reduced the time to load and analyze large DSPF files, enabling engineers to identify critical parasitic issues within minutes. This transformed their workflow, cutting parasitic debugging time from four weeks down to just one week and accelerating overall design closure by up to 5X. As a result, Cadence helped Celestial AI significantly accelerate its time to market and deliver high-quality solutions to customers at an unprecedented pace.
