Digital IC Design and Signoff from Cadence


In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, designs are growing in size and complexity. As a result, achieving the desired power, performance, and area (PPA) targets has become increasingly challenging. Furthermore, tight schedules further intensify the engineering task at hand. However, Cadence® has developed an integrated digital IC design full flow that addresses these difficulties by incorporating groundbreaking innovations that transcend the limitations of individual tools. By integrating core engines and key technologies, the Cadence digital full flow empowers customers to surpass their PPA objectives ahead of schedule.
