About Cadence



As market demand drives electronics companies to pack more performance and functionality into chips manufactured at ever-smaller geometries, designers begin to hit a wall of complexity—especially as we enter the nanometer era. Today's semiconductors and electronic systems are so complex that creating them would be impossible without electronic design automation (EDA).

Cadence Design Systems is the world's leading EDA technologies and engineering services company. Cadence helps its customers break through their challenges by providing leading edge electronic design solutions that speed advanced IC and system designs to volume production. Customers use Cadence software and hardware, methodologies, and services to design and verify advanced semiconductors, printed circuit boards and systems used in consumer electronics, networking and telecommunications equipment, and computer systems.
