Linux option is a first for EDA software
Cadence has released the industry's first complete front-to-back advanced IC package and PCB design flow to run on Linux as part of its version 15.1 IC packaging and PCB design environment release.
Design flow speeds multi-million-gate design
Advanced Hardware Architectures has designed and taped-out a 10-million-gate forward error correction IC using the 64bit Cadence SP and R design flow.
With the new release engineers now have a single environment for the exploration, verification, and measurement of differential signalling for die-to-die interconnect across integrated circuit (IC) packages and PCB.
Other advances include new interactive routing capabilities, new recursive autorouting algorithms for improved manufacturability, and a capability that can shorten time-to-volume for IC manufacturers through the creation of silicon implementation high-speed design kits.
The new differential signalling design capability is introduced to provide engineers with a method of providing signal integrity in high-speed designs and increasing productivity.
