Cadence Expands Sigrity 2015 Technology Portfolio with New Products, a Key Feature Update and Flexible Licensing Options
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 27, 2015 –
HIGHLIGHTS:
- New Sigrity Parallel Computing 4-pack enables efficient product creation with 3X speedup in signoff-accurate PCB extraction
- Updated power-aware system signal integrity (SI) feature now supports LPDDR4 analysis with full JEDEC compliance checking
- Flexible licensing options available for small analysis teams with big analysis requirements
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), today announced an expanded Cadence® Sigrity™ technology portfolio with the Sigrity Parallel Computing 4-pack and the Sigrity System Explorer, an updated power-aware system signal integrity (SI) feature, as well as flexible purchasing options for PCB and IC Package design and analysis. The Sigrity technology portfolio enables product creation efficiency by increasing signoff-level PCB extraction accuracy.
"The Sigrity 2015 portfolio release of implementation-linked analysis solutions targets critical design goals for higher-speed and lower-power electronic products, especially relevant for mobile and Internet of Things markets," said Vinod Kariat, vice president of R&D, Custom IC and PCB Group at Cadence. "Designers can utilize our new features to enable LPDDR4 sign-off along with simple yet cost-effective licensing for both distributed processing speed-up and multiple tool access by designers with a breadth of application needs."
New Products
- Sigrity Parallel Computing 4-pack is a license that allows designers to run parallel computing tasks across four additional computers, thereby accelerating product creation time and tripling the speed of PCB extraction of signoff-accurate interconnect models.
- Sigrity System Explorer features general purpose topology exploration, enabling power-aware signal integrity and transient power integrity (PI) analysis across multiple fabrics.
- The power-aware system signal integrity (SI) feature now supports LPDDR4 analysis with full JEDEC compliance checking, including bit error rate analysis with high capacity channel simulation for memory interface.
- Combined license for Allegro® Sigrity SI and Allegro Sigrity PI base products, when a single user is responsible for both SI and PI tasks.
- Combined System SI license for both Serial Link and Parallel Bus analysis, when a single user is responsible for both memory interfaces and SerDes interfaces.
About Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
Cadence Design Systems is a leading global EDA company. Cadence customers use our software, hardware, and services to overcome a range of technical and economic hurdles.
Our technologies help customers create mobile devices with longer battery life. Designers of ICs for game consoles and other consumer electronics speed their products to market using our hardware simulators to run software on a virtual chip long before the actual chip exists. We bridge the traditional gap between chip designers and fabrication facilities, so that manufacturing challenges can be addressed early in the design stage. And our custom IC design platform enables designers to harmonize the divergent worlds of analog and digital design to create some of the most advanced mixed-signal system on chip (SoC) designs. These are just a few of the many essential Cadence solutions that drive the success of leading IC and electronic systems companies.
