German medical technology company Celtro is developing battery-free medical implants by harvesting electrical energy directly from biological cells in the human body. In conventional pacemakers, the battery is a major component, which can make the device larger and may require replacement surgeries when the battery runs out. Celtro’s approach uses semiconductor technology capable of harvesting and managing energy at the nanowatt level. To develop the required chip, the company designed its digital IP core using several Cadence tools, including Spectre Simulation Platform, Xcelium Logic Simulator, Genus Synthesis Solution, Innovus Implementation System, and Tempus Timing Solution. These tools supported the development and verification of the low-power chip architecture required for the implant.
