Cadence® custom, analog, and RF design solutions can help you save time by automating many routine tasks, from block-level and mixed-signal simulation to routing and library characterization.
Driving efficiency and accuracy in advanced packaging, system planning, and multi-fabric interoperability, Cadence® package implementation products deliver the automation and accuracy.
Cadence® PCB design solutions enable shorter, more predictable design cycles with greater integration of component design and system-level simulation for a constraint-driven flow.
The Cadence Academic Network helps build strong relationships between academia and industry, and promotes the proliferation of leading-edge technologies and methodologies at universities renowned for their engineering and design excellence.
A huge knowledge exchange platform for academia to network with industry. We are looking for academic speakers to talk about their research to the industry attendees at the Academic Track at CDNLive EMEA and Silicon Valley.
Join the 250+ qualified Americas member universities who have already incorporated Cadence EDA software into their classrooms and academic research projects.
In EMEA, Cadence works with EUROPRACTICE to ensure cost-effective availability of our extensive electronic design automation (EDA) tools for non-commercial activities.

Performs time domain signal integrity analysis to confirm that designs meet specified targets
Documents your simulations with flexible 2D and 3D visualization results including waveforms and virtual walk-through
Provides streamlined workflows for layout-based electrical rule checks (ERCs) using embedded solvers and simulators
Uniquely equipped to let you perform a broad range of analysis tasks from a single tool—including electrical rule checking, interconnect model extraction, signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) studies, and design-stage electromagnetic interference analysis—Cadence® Sigrity™ SPEED2000™ technology is a layout-based finite difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation tool for IC package and/or board analysis with multiple workflows to guide the user through the various analysis tasks. Included is a combination of circuit and transmission-line simulations with a fast, special-purpose electromagnetic field solver that computes dynamic interactions between signal, power, and ground on IC package and board signals and planes.
The Sigrity SPEED2000 technology is designed to work with popular chip/package/board design flows. The tool lets you perform time-domain analysis to confirm that designs meet specified targets, it understands complex voltage noise propagation (including return-path discontinuities), simulates simultaneous switching noise (SSN), and helps you identify improvement opportunities. The Sigrity SPEED2000 technology provides a transient simulation environment for both SI and PI of package and/or PCB. Interconnect model extraction can be performed to support reflection-focused (level 1) or crosstalk-focused (level 2) simulation in a pure circuit simulator such as the Cadence Sigrity SystemSI™ simulator. In addition, the Sigrity SystemSI and SPEED2000 technologies can be used together to support detailed power-aware (level 3) SI analysis using the FDTD-direct workflow.

Another popular Sigrity SPEED2000 workflow is power-aware electrical rule checking (ERC). This unique technology expands beyond classic impedance and crosstalk rule checking by including estimated noise coupling from power and ground planes that may be ringing.
The electro-static discharge (ESD) workflow is used to test the impact of sudden and unexpected flow of electricity from an external source such as human contact or plugging in a cable with a charge. The flow includes defining the placement of an ESD gun model and then observing the impact to the board, signals, and planes. Transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes and their ability to clamp the voltage peak are included in the ESD simulation.

Simulation-based SI rule checking that considers power plane noise (no models required)
Simulates simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and identifies improvement options
Unique electromagnetic control (EMC) simulation solution with support for designs with non-linear drivers and receivers
Determines the impact of variations in stack-up, plane geometries, and I/O configurations
Observes where noise is generated, identifies how it propagates, and determines if it stays within targeted levels
Interconnect model extraction of single or coupled signal lines for use with external circuit simulators such as the Sigrity SystemSI tool
Behaves as an FDTD-direct engine for the Sigrity SystemSI tool, enabling system-level power-aware SI analysis (no requirement for S-parameters)
ESD workflow provides feedback on effectiveness of TVS diodes
