Get back to the basics with Cadence Spectre AMS Designer for Mixed-Signal Verification. Easily incorporate your analog and digital blocks into one simulation Test Bench, script regressions, and run verification from the command line. This could provide a preferred use model to the digital-centric engineer. For analog-centric engineers, the integration of AMS Designer into Virtuoso has introduced a multitude of users…

Thermal issues in today's electronic designs have become significantly more challenging due to advanced nodes and heterogeneous integration, such as in 3D-ICs. Complete thermal analysis is required to predict performance due to an increase in power and shrinkage in area. In addition, large designs require high-capacity solutions to avoid partitioning the design into smaller pieces, since thermal is a global problem. The…

The ultimate goal of the Cadence Genus Synthesis Solution is very simple: deliver the best possible productivity and Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) during register-transfer-level (RTL) logic synthesis.

The real design synthesis journey is not always rosy; there might be some PPA issue or other!!

• Is there any way to develop your expertise in the synthesis domain using the Genus Synthesis Solution?
• How do you tackle…

In the ever-evolving landscape of networking technologies, the arrival of 1600G Ethernet represents a quantum leap forward, pushing data transmission speeds to unprecedented levels. In this blog post, we dive deep into the technicalities of 1600G Ethernet.

At its core, Ethernet facilitates seamless data exchange across vast distances. Traditionally, Ethernet standards have evolved to accommodate increasing bandwidth demands…

Are you tired of spending hours on tedious tasks like debugging and coverage closure in your design verification process? Do you want to reduce respins and increase productivity? Look no further than Verisium SimAI - an AI-powered platform that utilizes machine learning technology to target coverage holes.

Verisium SimAI is a platform that uses machine learning to build models from regressions run in Xcelium, a simulator…

Training Byes are short technical videos, but they are designed to help you in multiple ways to understand and learn the concepts and methodologies along with demos, which will ultimately help you productively design for better power, performance, and area (PPA). This blog post will discuss the importance and benefits of Training Bytes available on the Cadence Support Portal (support.cadence.com).

Another year has gone by, and – as always - we will not miss to look back at our most-viewed blogs of the year and give an overview OF what else happened in our world of Education throughout the year.

During this past year we published 27 more training blogs around Digital Design and Signoff and also proudly presented 4 new Webinars, if you missed it you can find the recordings and all future webinars we have planned…

In a persistent trend, shrinking IC geometries and higher levels of integration are leading to SoCs packed with increasingly more functionality over time. Much of this functionality is implemented in software running on systems with ever more complex architectures. This creates validation problems that go beyond RTL verification. Software functionality and performance must also be validated, prior to tape-out. Failure…

Traditionally, analog mixed signal (AMS) verification works by utilizing a connection between an RTL simulator, like Xcelium, and an analog simulator, like Spectre. Xcelium uses an R2E (real to electric) connect module to convert its input signals into an analog format that Spectre’s simulated model can understand, and then an E2R (electric to real) connect module interprets these outputs in a digital context that Xcelium…

For a while now, Cadence has led the Verification Planning and Management (VPM) domain in the EDA Industry. Cadence’s innovative and dynamic Metric-Driven Verification Methodology, or MDV, forms the backbone of the Cadence VPM tool, vManager. Now, with the latest Verisium AI platform backed by Cadence JedAI technology incorporated into its flow, Cadence’s latest Verisium Manager Tool, which was already a great tool that…
