The collaboration between industry leaders yields new data
exchange and analysis capabilities between MATLAB and the Virtuoso
platform
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadence Design
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced it has expanded its
partnership with MathWorks through a new integration between the
Cadence® Virtuoso® Analog Design Environment
(ADE) Product Suite and MATLAB®, enabling customers to
accelerate processing of large data sets when verifying custom, RF
and mixed-signal designs. With this integration, designers can take
advantage of existing MATLAB scripts and seamlessly share data
between the Virtuoso and MATLAB platforms, allowing for data mining
and efficient analysis in either platform. This improved connection
is intended to decrease time to market when compared to traditional
methods. More information on the Virtuoso ADE Product Suite can be
found at www.cadence.com/go/virtuosoadesuite.
By working together, and with customers, Cadence and MathWorks
created a tight integration between the Virtuoso ADE and MATLAB
tools to offer IC designers several new benefits. Using MATLAB's
toolboxes and language, designers can easily create and solve
complex data calculations that would have previously taken hours to
solve using expert coding knowledge and low-level APIs. Now, this
data analysis can be performed in either tool, or split between the
two, allowing customers to pick the most efficient manner to get
the calculations and answers.
"As system-on-chip designs continue to grow in complexity, it
becomes more challenging to analyze the large amount of simulation
data that is created during the design and verification process,"
said Roy Lurie, vice president of
engineering, MATLAB products. "By integrating MATLAB with the
Virtuoso ADE Product Suite, we have jointly enabled IC designers to
analyze and visualize their simulation results in either solution.
This can significantly decrease the amount of time engineers spend
analyzing their results, decreasing time to market."
Furthermore, the collaboration allows customers of the Virtuoso
ADE Product Suite and the Cadence Spectre® Circuit
Simulator to utilize MATLAB scripts to analyze specialized radio
frequency (RF)-based measurements. These scripts have been refined
over the past decade, and can be used for post-simulation data
mining and creating complex analysis plots, such as constellation
plots, for detecting poor signal quality after demodulation in
communications systems.
"For 15 years, Cadence's Virtuoso and MATLAB from MathWorks have
been our tools of choice for automotive ASIC sensor development,"
said Jamie Haas, director of Design
Engineering, Advanced Sensor Technologies, at Allegro Microsystems.
"Now that the MATLAB and Virtuoso platforms are inherently
compatible, we can easily move between environments and utilize the
powerful capabilities of each solution. With ever-increasing
product complexity and aggressive schedules, the integration
enables thorough verification in the analog domain so that we can
meet our time-sensitive deadlines."
"In support of our System Design Enablement initiative, we
created a unique design flow from system through chip
implementation and verification using the industry's two leading
design and analysis platforms: the Virtuoso ADE Product Suite and
MATLAB software," said Tom Beckley,
senior vice president and general manager of the Custom IC &
PCB Group at Cadence. "Our customers who design automotive ICs, RF
communication systems or the latest IoT devices can harness the
power of the Cadence and MathWorks integration to simplify the
exchange of data and boost analytics capabilities. Together with
the previously announced PSpice® and MATLAB integration,
we have expanded our System Design Enablement offering and
connected two key tools to the world's leading modeling tool."
