Read MoreHide Full Article

Cadence Design Systems (CDNS - Free Report) has rolled out its custom power integrity solution — Cadence Voltus - XFi — which is integrated with Cadence Spectre, Virtuoso and Quantus platforms.

Cadence plans to tap the robust demand for power integrity solutions and sustainable electronics business with the product.

The Voltus-XFi solution's unified EM-IR cockpit allows customers a path between the Quantus Extraction Solution, Spectre EM-IR simulation and the Virtuoso environment using parameters recommended by the foundry.

Customers may view violations, zoom into relevant regions and overlay findings in the Virtuoso platform using the EM-IR results browser, making it simple to identify and correct problems.

This allows for the development of efficient, low-power ICs and improves productivity by three times, per a company report.

The industry's conventional current-based technology is surpassed by the patented voltage-based approach, which has a lower memory footprint and operates more quickly.

Customers can also leverage the new solution to gain access to a seamless flow for full-chip signoff verification.

Cadence continues to invest heavily in verification and digital design products to address the ever-growing needs of electronics and semiconductor companies.

The collaboration with IFS was aimed at addressing complex design workloads for SoCs and accelerating time-to-market.

The collaboration with Arm was aimed at speeding up the mobile device silicon success by combining Cadence digital and verification tools and the Arm Total Compute Solutions 2022.

Cadence offers products and tools that help customers to design electronic products. The company offers software, hardware, services and reusable IC design blocks to electronic systems and semiconductors to customers.
