Cadence Engineering services
Overview brochureSilicon successIP catalog
Cadence Engineering Services provides a collaboration infrastructure that combines all aspects of your service needs for greater efficiency and faster turnaround during all phases of a project.

Today's ever-increasing silicon integration means more is riding on each design—often including make-or-break business issues for your company. In a world where failure is not an option, design teams face a landscape littered with complex interactions among various physical effects—such as signal integrity, IR drop, substrate noise, and electromigration—that become exacerbated at smaller geometries.

Cadence realizes that our customers require more than a quick technological fix to such challenges. We help you meet your broader business and project goals by collaborating on the appropriate choice of flows, design expertise, enabling IP, and partnerships. Each services engagement is tailored to your specific design, budget, and schedule.

Cadence Engineering Services starts by considering your current design environment, operating constraints, and design goals. Then, working closely with you, we identify the most effective ways to overcome any obstacles to your success. This may entail anything from augmenting your internal design team to taking your RTL design and working with your team to optimize it in silicon.
