STMicroelectronics uses Cadence VCC methodology
STMicroelectronics has selected the Cadence Virtual Component Co-Design (VCC) for both its automotive and digital consumer platform system-level design methodology and design flow.
"The Cadence AMS Methodology Kit will give us the opportunity to apply proven and tested mixed-signal design examples to some of the complex problems we encounter when integrating analogue and digital circuits into an IC", said Ross Hirschi, Director of Methodology and Flow Development at Freescale Semiconductor.
"We anticipate that the verified methodologies within this Cadence kit will help us document and deploy leading-edge mixed-signal methodologies at higher level of productivity than before".
"Cadence is extremely pleased to be working with Freescale and providing them with the AMS Methodology Kit to speed up their flow development", said Ajay Malhotra, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Cadence.
"Cadence continues to put significant investment behind our kits strategy in an effort to support our customers in their pursuit of a more efficient solution to today's design challenges".
Cadence kits enable IC designers to accelerate technology-specific product development.
Cadence kits address design challenges in EDA technology segments such as AMS, silicon-in-package (SiP), coverage-driven functional verification, and radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) applications by combining verified methodologies and flows, demonstrated on a segment-representative design and packaged with applicability consulting.
By using Cadence kits, customers can focus more of their design resources on design differentiation rather than developing design infrastructure.
