Key Benefits
Cadence’s mixed-signal solution addresses implementation and verification challenges and delivers a comprehensive, interoperable, and production-proven methodology.
Because today’s mixed-signal designs have multiple feedback loops through analog and digital domains, the “black box” approach is no longer possible for top-level verification. The new world is a complex, multilayered fusion of the two disciplines, where the boundaries are fuzzy, the interactions complex and, at best, poorly modeled. Cadence offers an integrated mixed-signal verification environment that ensures the reliability of the mixed-signal verification results.
For designs that are analog-centric or digital centric, Cadence provides mixed-signal solutions that improve and optimize these flows and methodologies in ways that improve communication, reduce iterations, and streamline the engineering change order (ECO) process. For designs that tightly integrate analog and digital functionality, Cadence has an advanced co-design methodology that enables and promotes concurrent design, facilitates greater collaboration, and supports the mixing of analog and digital blocks at the top level of the design, which improves overall productivity and increases design throughput.
