You might have noticed that Cadence has changed its website, its colours, its message. We have also changed the name of our user conference, what used to be CDNLive EMEA has become CadenceLIVE Europe! Not only did the name of the event change, but a....

Ever had to use long expressions just to create simple measurements for plots and waveforms or use markers to measure amplitude, rise, and fall times? That too when these measurements might not even stay in place? If yes, then read on to find out...

I wrote a post recently, HOT CHIPS: Scaling out Deep Learning Training , which I considered to be an introduction to deep learning training (in the first half) and scaling out (in the second). But even my boss told me it was "meaty" so ...

审视相邻层，避免串扰问题；审视走线层及参考平面，避免信号跨分割；审视每个电源平面，避免通流不足…… 针对SI/PI的检查动作是每位工程师的必修课，通常是在检查环节落实，但是却往往避免不了遗漏，而可能导致信号设计质量问题。 最后一期的内容，我们将与大家分享在PCB设计环境下，如何通过In-Design Analysis（IDA，即设计同步分析）来实现信号质量设计，在设计过程中就尽力排除信号质量隐患，从而实现高质量交付。 “极致PCB设计全流程” ...

MaestroのPlotting Templateがサポートされてからしばらく経ち、ご利用中のお客様も増えているかと思います。これらのテンプレートを使用すると、プロットのカスタマイズを手動で行う際に費やす時間を大幅に削減できることを実感できます。しかし、SKILL関数を使用してこれらのテンプレートを操作してみたことはありますか？操作したことがない場合は、このブログを読んで、これらの関数の詳細を確認してください: maeGetAllPlottingTemplates maeGetAllPlott...

Click here to read the latest blog about the updated 'Using Quantus Smart View in the Virtuoso Analog Design Environment Rapid Adoption Kit'. This not only explains how to set up and simulate with a Smart View, but also discusses how to simulate with...

Do you know what the Stevie Awards are? Officially, they are the International Business Awards, but just like the Academy Awards of Merit are colloquially known as Oscars, these awards are known as Stevies. They are: a set of eight business awards...

Asynchronous designs happen. They’re not particularly easy to verify, but sometimes they’re necessary. If you don’t have a system clock, or if you have controllers that operate at a high speed with low power dissipation, or even if you do have a system...

If you’re not familiar with the Arm/Cadence collaboration , you’ve been missing out. Arm has been using Cadence’s virtual system platform—Palladium ® Z1 for emulation and Protium S1 for prototyping—for years, and with these, Arm powers their wide array...

A couple of weeks ago was the RISC-V Global Forum. This was truly global, in that it started at midnight California time and ran for 18 hours until 8:00pm the following evening, with people presenting from their living rooms all over the world. Prese...

If you are looking for a comprehensive training on block implementation with Innovus using the Stylus Common User Interface, look no further. This 3-day training, suitable for both beginner- and advanced designers, will take you through the complete...

Installing new software seems like a daunting task for most of us. You may feel burdened with concerns like how to install and what options to choose, and so on. So, in this post, I will unload your worries and share some best practices to make the i...

There are many reasons a die’s size in the package doesn’t match the design size recorded in the IC layout tool. For starters, the IC layout doesn’t always include the scribe lines and other manufacturing offsets/adjustments that do...

Texas Instruments (TI) is the biggest analog semiconductor company in the world. As it happens, I wrote about TI just two weeks ago in my self-explanatorily-titled post Cadence Wins Texas Instruments' Supplier Excellence Award . I gave...

The Cadence tool flow is the most comprehensive flow around. If there is an EDA need, you can rest assured that Cadence has a tool that covers that need, and you can be certain that it integrates into the rest of the flow smoothly. In fact, Cadence t...

A library view contains electrical information that is used throughout design implementation starting from logic synthesis through design optimization to the final signoff verification.

At the recent CadenceLIVE Americas, Nick Loebner of Imagination Technologies presented Delivering Best PPA on PowerVR GPUs Using Genus/Innovus Digital Implementation System. You probably already know that Imagination Technologies license GPU IP....

IC6.1.8/ICADVM18.1 ISR3のVirtuoso® ADE Assembler および Virtuoso ADE Explorer で、信頼性解析の実行方法を完全に変更する、改良されたReliability Options フォームを導入しました。これまで以上に物事をより良くするために、ケイデンスは信頼性解析の改良を続けています。 このブログでは、すでに持っているものを再利用するという概念を中心とした2つの機能強化について説明します。 ストレス・ファイルの再利用 信頼性解...

Post-Layout has become a hot topic recently. This has kept me and several other engineers very busy for the past year or so. One of the new, and exciting post-layout features that we have added to Virtuoso ADE Assembler and Virtuoso ADE Explorer is the...

At the recent HOT CHIPS, the Sunday morning tutorial was on scale out of deep learning training. I covered the introduction in my post HOT CHIPS: Scaling out Deep Learning Training . The second half of the morning was devoted to some of the biggest sc...
