Cadence Design Systems

The EDA giant fills out its prototyping and verification line-up with a long-mooted acquisition, and is set to become the first of the 'big three' to offer an in-house soup-to-nuts flow.

Cadence Design Systems has updated both of its printed circuit board (PCB) tools – Allegro and Orcad – to improve their handling of design constraints, multiuser design and deal with embedded components and mechanical CAD tools.

Accellera has approved version 1.0 of the Unified Coverage Interoperability Standard (UCIS). Here's how it works.

The troops will be out in force next week to claim progress on 20nm AMS design flows that take manufacturability into account.

The EDA giant has accelerated and integrated its tool suites and broadened its verification IP catalog in its new look System Development Suite.

Designers working on mixed-signal circuits will benefit from using digital tools, Cadence's SVP of R&D for custom design said at CDNLive EMEA today. But for those who don't a faster fast Spice is on its way.
