Cadence Design Systems (CDNS) said on Tuesday that it launched a new RTL Generation Agent for its ChipStack AI Super Agent to automate parts of digital chip design using natural-language prompts.
The agent can turn chip specifications into RTL code, analyze designs, and refine them for power, performance, and area (PPA).
In early testing, the tool reduced chip area by 24% and power consumption by 18% on average versus foundation-model code generation while maintaining 100% functional accuracy.
The new agent also supports AI-driven updates to existing RTL, helping engineers adapt designs to new requirements, functionality, and PPA targets.
Honda (HMC)'s R&D is evaluating the technology for next-generation automotive SoCs to improve chip development productivity.
The expanded ChipStack AI Super Agent capabilities are expected to be available to select customers in Q4 2026.
On the market side, the CDNS stock traded 1% higher at ~$298.01.
