Cadence Allegro IC-PKG-PCB co-design services Today's high-performance ICs exhibit upwards of 2,000 I/O pins, requiring packages that sometimes exceed 100 layers—which, in turn, go onto boards with more than 50 layers. This unprecedented complexity requires a new design methodology, one that allows designers to leverage knowledge of the design and manufacturing parameters that dictate the design of related system components. Cadence® Allegro® system interconnect design platform enables engineers to work concurrently with teams working across the three system domains—IC, package, and board. | An integrated technology platform supports the VSIC model, IP availability, and silicon design-in technology |

Cadence services for Allegro IC-PKG-PCB co-design streamline and improve your current design process. We have helped companies across the electronics industry apply state-of-the-art tools to their unique design challenges and environments. Recognizing the diverse needs of our customers, Cadence provides a full range of services—from prepackaged solutions to customized offerings—as well as resources to help you rapidly upgrade to new technologies and design methodologies. Constraint-Driven Design Methodology Service
To compete effectively in today's markets, you need to create working designs that are smarter, faster, less expensive, and more reliable. At the same time, however, engineers are encountering an array of new challenges relating to electronics miniaturization, nanometer silicon, multi-gigabit serial interfaces, mixed-signal devices, and system-level design. To succeed means using CAD tools more effectively to design state-of-the-art digital circuits and printed circuit boards (PCB), which requires making multiple tradeoffs. It also takes a truly collaborative and interdisciplinary design team.
Cadence has applied its extensive industry experience to create a baseline constraint-driven design methodology that is "ready to go". This baseline methodology contains all the key elements of a complete methodology, including scripts, data templates, and documentation. Performing a "fit analysis" on your current flow/methodology relative to the baseline allows us to "tweak" your flow accordingly—before we implement it. And by transferring knowledge regarding effective constraint strategies, this approach enables your engineers to understand how to quickly and appropriately balance constraints to optimize for current product requirements. PCB Library Sourcing
Commoditization of the electronics design and supply chain is forcing companies to seek alternative solutions for creating and managing EDA library/component data. These solutions must not only address critical business issues—such as lowering cost—but must also provide the greatest improvements in quality and turn-around time.
Cadence can provide a complete solution for EDA Library development, including part maintenance/support, entry of corporate component parameters, and synchronization/support of corporate component management systems. Whether your company requires a complete solution, or is simply looking to ensure a quality solution for peak volume periods, Cadence has the industry-proven solution. Design-in Kits
Implementing a next-generation high-speed device into a PCB system is a time-consuming and costly challenge. Because PCB and IC design environments are so different, SPICE (IC) models must be translated to IBIS or behavioral (PCB) models in a lengthy and error-prone process. To address this issue, Cadence Engineering Services provides custom-tailored silicon-design-in kits that enable the PCB systems designer to drastically reduce implementation times for new designs. A design-in kit is an electronic blueprint for simulating and implementing silicon devices in a system. In this way it speeds time-to-volume production for IC manufacturers and time to market for electronics system companies.
Silicon-design-in kits enable IC companies to expand revenue through more design wins, capture market share by making their technologies the preferred choice, and increase profits by accelerating time to volume (TTV). These kits also help electronics systems companies grow revenue by accelerating their TTM, increase market share by enabling them to quickly incorporate new technologies, and improve profitability by making their design chains more efficient. Conversion Services
Conversion services help you painlessly migrate pre-existing designs or libraries into a Cadence design environment. These services are especially useful when you need to convert large libraries or when your design requires hand-conversion beyond what commercial translators can provide. Cadence Engineering Services offers you the benefit of our unrivaled expertise in library development and conversion in applications across all types of industries.
