Cadence launches new AI agent for RTL generation, early PPA optimisation

NEW DELHI: Electronic design automation (EDA) major Cadence Design Systems on Thursday launched a new RTL Generation Agent for its ChipStack AI Super Agent, automating front-end digital design and verification from natural language prompts.

Building on its initial agentic workflow launched in February 2026, the technology extends the platform from autonomous verification and debug into power, performance, and area (PPA)-driven spec-to-RTL generation, analysis, and refinement.
