Connections Program
Building Interoperability with Cadence Connections
Member Solutions
While Cadence offers a wide array of intelligent system design solutions and services, customers occasionally find the need to integrate software from other suppliers into their own design flows. Through the Cadence Connections program, we encourage interoperability and open industry standards, collaborating with software suppliers worldwide to enhance the value that customers find in using Cadence products.
Fostering Development of Validated Interfaces
Cadence Connections supports and embraces third-party software suppliers that offer complementary solutions in front-end design, verification intellectual property (IP), IC implementation, mixed-signal design, verification, manufacturability, and system-package-board. Through the program, software suppliers can access Cadence software and support for the development of validated interfaces to Cadence products, all while supporting proven Cadence design flows.

We collaborate with third-party suppliers in three primary areas: electronic design automation (EDA), verification IP (VIP) and services, and model development:
- Connections EDA Program - Works with over 80 EDA tool providers
- Connections Verification Alliances Program - Assists over 45 companies in VIP development, educational services, and consulting services
- Connections Model Developers Program - Facilitates the development and availability of Model Products that are adapted and/or optimized for use with specific Cadence Products
- Access Infolink
