    Hot Topic
    As more micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are being used for automotive and consumer electronics, engineers need a robust MEMS and mixed-signal co-design flow that enables both system-on-chip (SoC) and systemin-package (SiP) approaches. A clear-cut interface between a MEMS design subflow and the conventional mixed-signal sub-flow is necessary. Cadence® VCAD Services has developed an IP for handling the special requirements for a MEMS methodology (for both SoC and SiP applications) called SIMPLI. The IP ensures efficient handling of concurrent design/optimization of the MEMS and electronics while handling engineering change orders between the two domains.
