Cadence wireless and consumer electronics IC design services

The fast-moving consumer electronics market demands that chip designers provide more features and performance while simultaneously cutting system and chip costs by reaching volume production. In the wireless space, you must also cope with continually evolving standards and constraints imposed by low-power and small-footprint requirements. Compound these issues with relentless time-to-revenue pressures and the spiraling costs of masks, and you're faced with an extremely risky IC design environment.

Cadence Engineering Services helps IC designers working on analog and mixed-signal designs in the wireless and consumer electronics space contend with these issues. We can help you overcome specific technical challenges, such as working out the best system partitioning, establishing a frequency plan, creating IC specifications, choosing the appropriate process technology, and implementing the design.

Customers count on our extensive knowledge of wireless and consumer applications and our design expertise in high-volume, low-power, core-based designs. We bolster this expertise with an extensive gallery of silicon IP. Of equal importance, Cadence analog/mixed-signal design teams have over 20 years of experience in low-power IC design and device characterization for RF applications in both bipolar and CMOS technologies. We specialize in designing RF circuits in standard semiconductor foundry processes that require few or no added steps, which reduces the silicon costs for our customers.

Cadence also has a deep understanding of the flexible transceiver architectures that have been developed for a range of wireless applications including GPS, Bluetooth, and DECT. In both the 2.4GHz radio and GPS receiver space, we offer platforms that provide the foundation for enhancing customer-specific designs.
