More package designers these days, with the increasing component counts and more complicated electrical constraints, are shifting to using a front-end schematic capture tool. As with IC and PCB design, this allows for verification between the logical...

A lot of EDA and IP is increasingly based around standards. As a result, Cadence is actively participating in and contributing to standards bodies such as IEEE, JEDEC, Accellera, and Si2 to name a few. Here are the most recent standards that we have...

Cadence Education Services have released our latest advanced UVM Training Byte (TB) video on support.cadence.com . This TB covers issues when migrating to UVM-IEEE. UVM is the dominant testbench methodology for ASIC and IC design. For many years UVM w...

At the recent Arm DevSummit, one of the presentations mentioned CHERI and the Arm Morello board in passing. This was in the context of using capabilities (perhaps) in some future Arm processors to increase the amount of memory safety, and to protect...

It might seem simple, but database units and accuracy directly relate to the artwork generated, and it is possible to misunderstand the artwork format as it relates to the board setup. Thirty years ago, databases were set up as Mils (0.0) or Mil...

SPECTRE 20.1 リリースは、 Cadence Downloads からダウンロード可能です。 SPECTRE 20.1 サポートされているプラットフォーム、インストール情報、製品ドキュメントへのアクセス方法、およびこのリリースで解決された主要な問題の詳細については README.txt ファイルを参照してください。 SPECTRE20.1リリースで行われた重要な更新の一部を次に示します: Spectre XのSpectreRF解析 Spectre Xは、pss、harmonic...

'Virtuoso Meets Maxwell' はVirtuoso RFソリューションとVirtuoso MultiTechの機能及びその潜在能力の紹介を目的としたブログの連載です。ではどのようにVirtuosoがMaxwellと出会うのでしょうか。現在、VirtuosoプラットフォームはRF設計をサポートしており、RF設計者は物理的な放射の影響をマクスウェルの方程式で測ります。この連載では、有益なソフトウェアの改善点にスポットを当てて解説するだけでなく、VirtuosoのIC...

We live in a complex world where it is essential to use and combine tools and platforms as efficiently as possible with all available features. In this blog, we are happy to show you how easy it can be to get best results using the Spectre Simulation...

The IC6.1.8 ISR15 and ICADVM20.1 ISR15 production releases are now available for download.

Back at the start of 2020, we talked about why you shouldn't use the default wire profile in your actual design. Today, I want to take this a step further. If you do wire bond designs, you are doubtless aware of the certified bond wire profiles t...

Welcome to a post on how to create component and padstack libraries for use in the Virtuoso platform-driven multiple technology flows. This post describes the tasks of a librarian, who must assemble component IP from various sources and create the views...

PSpice® A/D is a fully featured analog and mixed-signal simulator that can be integrated with OrCAD® and Allegro® tools. With PSpice A/D you can improve design functionality and reliability, and also verify the electrical performance of d...

Are you a lab instructor sitting at home right now? Have you completed some Cadence Online Training courses for your education and earned Digital Badges for personal promotion and spicing up your CV on LinkedIn? Well done! You can go even further and...

In this blog, I will focus on the key enablers, which are required before the power-aware designs undergo the verification cycle. This is the ultimate test that confirms the robustness and efficiency of a design.

It's Thanksgiving next week in the U.S. I am taking the whole week off and Breakfast Bytes will not appear. So today is the day before the break and I always indulge myself by writing about something completely off-topic. Let's look at some t...

およそ1年前、SPECTRE 19.1 baseリリースにてSpectre Xシミュレータをリリースしました。それ以来、後続のSPECTRE 19.1 ISRリリースでのSpectre Xでは、多数の改善が行われました。2020年10月初旬にリリースされたSPECTRE 20.1リリースでもSpectre Xに関連するいくつかの大きな改善が含まれています。このブログでは、Spectre Xに関連するアップデートと、SPECTRE 19.1 ISRリリースで提供された改善の概要について紹介します。...

This blog explains how to convert an electrical signal to a real number in your design.

This blog provides a summary of the last five blogs posted in the Library Characterization Tidbits blog series.

The third of three events taking place in the first three weeks of December is the RISC-V Summit. The RISC-V Summit takes place from December 8 to 10. You can read my preview posts about the other two December events from earlier in th...

Every December is the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM). The somewhat unusual name comes about since it has been going for over 60 years and, in the early days, it was all about vacuum tubes (valves in English English), with transist...

Let’s investigate this question today, as I’ve been asked a few times over the years by curious designers. The question is one of wanting to start from the Allegro Package Designer environment and begin prototyping a die pin layout. If yo...

What if you could foresee potential changes in your design and analyze their impact in advance? I’m sure, your life would have been easier, isn’t it? Read on to know more about the what-if or ECO analysis feature in Voltus-Fi-XL.
