Bosch uses Cadence Vituoso for unified
custom/analog flow
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. has announced that Robert
Bosch GmbH (Bosch) has standardized on an enhanced custom/analog
flow based on Cadence Virtuoso v6.1 technology, gaining
approximately a 25 percent advantage in productivity for
advanced custom/analog silicon design.
Cadence says its unified custom/analog flow provides Bosch
an integrated and modular IC development flow well suited
for modern IC and MEMS technologies.
"Serving a very cost-sensitive market such as automotive
with high-quality standards requires a comprehensive design,
verification, and implementation solution which is based
on a proven design methodology within a powerful automated
design environment," said Dr. Peter van Staa, Vice
President Engineering at Bosch. "A close R&D collaboration
with Cadence was key to addressing our specific custom/analog
flow requirements with Virtuoso, and we were impressed with
the Cadence responsiveness and the productivity advantage
this gave our design teams."
"Being selected by Bosch, the leading worldwide supplier
for automotive electronics, underscores the significant
technology leadership Cadence offers to advanced custom/analog
design teams," said John Stabenow, Group Director,
Custom/Analog Product Management at Cadence. "We are
committed to the EDA360 vision and delivering on the promise
of a more deterministic end-to-end path to silicon, as well
as the industry call for higher productivity and profitability.
The result of our collaboration with Bosch is proof positive
that Cadence is answering that call."
