Product Offering
Analog and Digital IC Design and Packaging
As a leader in custom, analog, RF, and mixed-signal design enablement, we provide a complete solution, starting with tools and methodologies that enable fast and accurate entry of design concepts all the way through verifying the designs before they are produced in silicon. By selectively automating aspects of custom IC design, we allow engineers to focus on precision-crafting their designs and optimizing circuit performance.
For designing the digital parts of chips, we provide solutions that improve productivity and speed up the design process. These AI-driven design solutions speed the entire design cycle from front-end design all the way to final silicon signoff convergence.
We offer the leading IC packaging design solutions for traditional and advanced 3D-IC solutions. Cadence IC packaging and cross-domain co-design automation provide efficient solutions in system-level co-design and advanced mixed-signal packaging, delivering the automation and accuracy needed to expedite the design process.
The IP portfolio includes pre-designed and configurable blocks that can be integrated quickly into chip designs, reducing time to market and technology risks. This portfolio includes DSPs for AI, vision, audio, IoT, and baseband applications; memory and storage IP; PHYs and controllers for the latest standard interfaces, including UCI Express (UCIe), PCI Express (PCIe), USB, and Ethernet; and chiplet reference designs to reduce time to market.
System Verification
The chip and system verification solution enables system and semiconductor companies to create complete, differentiated end products more efficiently. It comprises best-in-class core engines, verification fabric technologies, and solutions that increase design quality and verification throughput, fulfilling verification requirements for a wide variety of applications and vertical segments. This unique mixture of software-based solutions with hardware accelerators delivers the shortest turnaround time and predictable quality. Our technology offers a proven path for system-level power and signal integrity. We also offer Verification IP (VIP) to verify interface and memory standards.
PCB Design with Multiphysics and CFD Analysis
Our PCB design solutions enable shorter, more predictable design cycles with greater integration of component design and system-level simulation for a constraint-driven flow for right-first-time design.
Predicting real-world product performance during the design process is paramount for selecting the optimal design of complex systems. We provide a comprehensive multiphysics solution, including electromagnetic interference (EMI), electromagnetic compliance (EMC), electrothermal, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools. This includes digital twin technology for data center project management.
Molecular Modeling and Biosimulation
Cadence also offers molecular modeling and biosimulation software to improve drug discovery via industry-leading science, efficient algorithms, and cloud-native scalability.
