In today’s fast-paced semiconductor industry, technology nodes evolve quickly—yet analog designs often have long, productive lives. A carefully tuned amplifier, data converter, or IP block can often be reused across multiple process nodes and even across different foundries. This is where  schematic migration becomes essential. Schematic migration is now a crucial strategy for modern analog design reuse.

Precision Time Measurement (PTM) is an optional capability for communicating precise timing information between components. PTM enables precise coordination of events across multiple components with independent local time clocks. Such precise coordination is difficult, given that individual time clocks have differing notions of the value and rate of change of time. PTM is used in links/domains where the system…

Modern schematic-driven design flows rely on accurate, reusable, and well-structured libraries to ensure design correctness, consistency, and smooth downstream PCB implementation. In Cadence's Allegro X System Capture, library development forms the foundation of an efficient design process, enabling seamless schematic creation, constraint application, and PCB implementation.

Imagine validating high-speed interconnect or RF block operating in the multi-GHz range. Traditional modeling and simulation approaches quickly reach their limits when used to validate high speed interconnect or RF blocks operating in the multi-GHz range. When signals begin to propagate like waves, ringing and reflection dominate behavior and frequency-dependent…

One of the most powerful features of the Portable Stimulus Standard (PSS) is the ability to import functions from foreign languages like C or SystemVerilog. This capability is far more than a convenience; it solves a critical real-world challenge. A very common real-life use case is that many teams already have a substantial firmware/software API library (usually in C, sometimes SV), and they do not want to re-model that…
