Accelerating automotive innovation: SRAM compiler breakthroughs for 5nm & 3nm SoCs.

Level 1 vehicles needed 2 trillion operations per second. Today Level 4 autonomous cars demand 4,000 trillion operations per second—driving unprecedented complexity in automotive SoC design.

As your organization pushes into 5nm and 3nm nodes, embedded SRAM — which can occupy up to 50% of the die — becomes the deciding factor of whether designs meet PPA, safety, and reliability targets.

A new white paper by Rahul Thukral, Sr. Director of Product Management for Embedded Memory IP at Synopsys, explores how leading teams are overcoming these challenges—featuring three real real-world deployments on TSMC N5A and N3A, with quantified results

Inside the white paper:

Comprehensive portfolio: Single-port SRAMs, register files (RF, 2PRF), ROMs — plus a high-performance core design kit (HPC DK) optimized for processor cache.
Advanced power management techniques: Multi-level sleep modes (light sleep, deep sleep, shutdown), half-word shutdown, dual-rail supply enabling DVFS/AVS for dynamic power optimization.
Meeting automotive safety and reliability standards: Mission-profile margins, read/write assist techniques for screening, DFT aligned with mission-mode timing, and validation for 10-year accelerated aging.
Proven PPA and performance gains: Up to 30% lower power, 10% area reduction, and 11% higher frequency (N3A); >100 MHz frequency improvement resolving timing bottlenecks (N5A)
