Features: Cadence Design Systems Inc. has introduced its new Virtuoso

custom design platform for advanced analog, mixed-signal, RF and custom digital

design.






According to Cadence statement, the platform, OLE_LINK3OLE_LINK4, provides
design teams with integrated technologies that address challenges across a wide

range of process nodes and design styles, including traditional analog, SiP,

mixed-signal, RF SoC and digital cell characterization, from 180 through 45

nanometers.Virtuoso custom design platform








The new Virtuoso platform features an integrated design environment,
capabilities for constraint management as well as new technologies for

verification, floor planning and routing. With the new platform, customers may

improve productivity with an accelerated overall IC design flow; increase design

accuracy with minimized re-spins; and deliver differentiated, high-quality,

custom silicon which meets demanding time to market schedules, the statement

said.






The new platform was beta-tested with a number of semiconductor and fabless
design companies, including Avago Technologies, Infineon Technologies, National

Semiconductor Corporation, PMC-Sierra, QUALCOMM, and Renesas Technology.






Charlie Giorgetti, corporate vice president, Product Marketing, at Cadence,
said, “OLE_LINK1OLE_LINK2 delivers everything from specification to layout to

verification, driven with an integrated constraint-driven methodology that

connects the electrical and physical design domains together for the first time.

Our customers stand to benefit with faster design time, reduced errors and

increased predictability and opportunity for first-pass design success."
