Read MoreHide Full Article

Cadence Design Systems (CDNS - Free Report) has unveiled the Cadence Allegro X AI technology, a new system design tool that offers significant improvements in performance and automation.

Traditionally, PCB design's placement and routing (P&R) process has been a time-consuming manual process that affects time-to-market. In comparison to the traditional method, the Allegro X Design Platform serves as the foundation for the new AI service, drastically reducing PCB design time while maintaining its quality. P&R operations for small-to-medium-sized designs may now be completed in minutes instead of days, added the company.

Cadence's Allegro X AI technology leverages cloud scalability for physical design automation, which provides the generative design of the PCB while ensuring its electrical correctness and manufacturability, added the company.

The above-mentioned technology automates placement, metal pouring and critical net routing, as well as integrates with fast signal integrity and power integrity analysis. The placement automation enables feasibility analysis in the early phases of design. This will likely help customers streamline their system design process and reduce PCB design turnaround time by approximately 10 times, stated the company.

The technology encourages the optimization of metrics, like reduced wire lengths, while adhering to the design limitations by exploring a considerably broader solution area than what is achievable using manual techniques. Cadence's new Allegro X AI technology supports its Intelligent System Design strategy, which allows customers to speed up system innovation.

Cadence offers products and tools that help customers to design electronic products. The company continues to invest heavily in verification and digital design products, helping it launch products that address the ever-growing needs of electronics and semiconductor companies.

In February, the company released 13 new Verification IP (VIP) solutions to help engineers verify their designs in accordance with the latest industry standards. The VIPs support multiple application areas and specifications, including hyperscale data centers, automotive, consumer and mobile system-on-chips.

Prior to that, the company announced the launch of its LPDDR5X memory interface intellectual property, which is optimized to operate at speeds of up to 8533 megabits per second. It is significantly faster than the previous generation of LPDDR memory.

CDNS currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Shares of the company have gained 35.7% compared with the sub-industry’s growth of 2.9% in the past year.
