Cadence Design Systems

Cadence offers simulation and board design solutions to designers at each stage of FPGA design--from concept to implementation--to accelerate time-to-market. Cadence’ broad portfolio of tools address the diverse capability and price-points of both mainstream and high-end FPGA segments, including support for Windows, UNIX, and Linux environments. Cadence simulators can handle mixed-language intellectual property (IP) blocks, enable mixed-signal simulation, and deliver industry-leading performance. In addition, Incisive™ Verification Platform has advanced methodologies (e.g., transaction- and assertion-based verification) that are critical for high-end designers that demand a single solution for both ASIC and FPGA designs. Cadence also offers a diverse portfolio of printed circuit board (PCB) tools to explore and resolve electrical board-level and performance-based issues, including the design of high-speed Stratix® GX devices.
