Cadence OrCAD
The Cadence OrCAD product line includes affordable, high-performance PCB design tools that boost productivity for smaller design teams and individual PCB designers. The affordable, high-performance OrCAD product line is easily scalable with the full complement of Cadence® Allegro® PCB solutions.
Cadence Allegro
The Cadence Allegro IC-Package-PCB co-design platform optimizes the system interconnect, reduces costs, and accelerates time to market by enabling a constraint-driven, collaborative design across all three system domains. From designs for high-speed, high-performance products to commodity markets, Cadence provides easy integration with existing technology, allowing you to incrementally enhance your existing design flow with updates and best-of-breed technology to support all market sectors. And because it is supported by the Cadence Encounter and Virtuoso platforms, the Allegro co-design methodology enables effective design chain collaboration.
Cadence Virtuoso
The Virtuoso custom design platform is a comprehensive system that accelerates silicon-accurate design of differentiated custom silicon. The Cadence Virtuoso custom design platform provides an exceptionally fast and silicon-accurate way to design custom analog, RF, and mixed-signal ICs.
Cadence Incisive
The Cadence Incisive® platform delivers the fastest and most efficient way to verify large, complex chips. It ensures that your product will meet specifications, ship without defects and arrive on time by removing productivity, predictability and quality risks in the development process. Delivering the fastest and most efficient way to verify large, complex chips, the Incisive® functional verification platform provides a complete range of leading technologies coupled with proven methodologies, verification IP, and support for all of the IEEE design and verification language standards.
Cadence Encounter
The Cadence Encounter platform is an integrated RTL-to-GDSII flow for complex and low-power designs at 90nm and below. To release innovative products in narrow market windows, companies need to focus precious engineering resources on where they add the most value—differentiating their designs. The Cadence® Encounter® digital IC design platform offers a full spectrum of technologies for nanometer-scale SoC design, helping both logic design and physical implementation teams achieve high-quality silicon quickly.
