Cadence Design Systems

Different users within a design team will have varying needs for prototype capabilities. What type of prototype to pick is not always 100 per cent clear. Here are some pointers on how to make the choice.

In pursuit of better design methodologies coupled with shrinking design-cycles, real-number modeling is emerging as a smart verification choice.

Problems with process scaling make it seem as though the long era of innovative, lucrative hardware design is coming to an end. But is that really the case?

Forty six companies have joined the consortium developing the increasingly important IPC-2581 data transfer standard for PCB designs.

Verify registers without writing code for specific bus interfaces or speed up the loading of configuration registers using the UVM Register Layer. Videos show you how.

Electrically aware layout tools provide a more efficient alternative to time-consuming rip-up-and-retry practices in mixed-signal nanometer IC design.

Mobile and networking platforms need high bandwidth, low power consumption, and small footprint. These needs drove standards, such as LPDDR4, Wide I/O 2 and Hybrid Memory Cube.

If you're going to be working on any aspect of multicore embedded system design, a newly published book titled "Real World Multicore Embedded Systems" will be an excellent guide.

Many design teams are looking at ways in which they can make use of 3D integration. Here are eight requirements for an effective 3D-IC design flow.

The arrival of the 20nm and finFET-based 14nm and 16nm processes bring with them challenges for custom IC design. These are the five key areas and a methodology that can address them.
