ABSTRACT SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), a leader in global electronic design innovation,

today announced availability of the critically acclaimed and much anticipated comprehensive design methodology

book for chip designers and CAD engineers that focuses on current and future advanced mixed-signal design

challenges and solutions. The "Mixed-Signal Methodology Guide" provides an overview of the design, verification

and implementation methodologies required for advanced mixed-signal designs. The book brings together top

mixed-signal design experts from across the industry -- including authors from Boeing, Cadence(R), ClioSoft and

Qualcomm -- to address the complex problems facing the mixed-signal design community.

"Modern mixed-signal design require new methodologies to improve productivity, reduce design time and achieve

silicon success," said Hao Fang, engineering director at LSI. "The Mixed-Signal Methodology Guide is a thorough

reference book on advanced verification and implementation methodologies. It will be particularly useful to mixed-

signal verification engineers for its coverage of analog behavioral modeling, and assertion and metric driven

verification methodology as applied to analog and mixed-signal design." FULL TEXT M2 PRESSWIRE-August 14, 2012-Cadence Publishes Comprehensive Book on Mixed-Signal Methodology; The

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), a leader in global electronic design innovation,

today announced availability of the critically acclaimed and much anticipated comprehensive design methodology

book for chip designers and CAD engineers that focuses on current and future advanced mixed-signal design

challenges and solutions. The "Mixed-Signal Methodology Guide" provides an overview of the design, verification

and implementation methodologies required for advanced mixed-signal designs. The book brings together top

mixed-signal design experts from across the industry -- including authors from Boeing, Cadence(R), ClioSoft and

Qualcomm -- to address the complex problems facing the mixed-signal design community.

The growing complexity of today's mixed-signal designs requires major changes in design methodology to both

increase productivity and deliver high quality products on time. This wide-ranging compendium examines in depth

such topics as AMS behavioral modeling, mixed-signal metric-driven verification, concurrent mixed-signal physical

implementation, analog scaling at advanced nodes, IC package integration and data management for mixed-signal

designs.

The volume is intended for design teams looking for improvements in their mixed-signal design flows. For

managers, it provides an overview of modern mixed-signal methodologies to make it easier to understand and plan

for investment in design capabilities and skills. The guide also helps analog and digital designers value the

domains and disciplines of one another and learn about more efficient ways to collaborate, which is critical for the

overall success of mixed-signal projects.

Comments from leading mixed-signal design companies:

"The Mixed-Signal Methodology Guide is an outstanding resource for both new and experienced circuit designers

to understand the many facets of mixed-signal design and verification," said Dr. Kush Gulati, , general manager for

Advanced IP Development at Maxim Integrated Products and co-founder of Cambridge Analog Technologies. "The

many real-world examples provided in this book, along with the provided example code, make this book a must-

read for anyone involved in the day-to-day design of mixed-signal systems."

"Modern mixed-signal design require new methodologies to improve productivity, reduce design time and achieve

silicon success," said Hao Fang, engineering director at LSI. "The Mixed-Signal Methodology Guide is a thorough

reference book on advanced verification and implementation methodologies. It will be particularly useful to mixed-

signal verification engineers for its coverage of analog behavioral modeling, and assertion and metric driven

verification methodology as applied to analog and mixed-signal design."

"With the growing demand for mixed-signal ICs, now is the time for the industry to upgrade their approach to

mixed-signal design," says David Peterman, EDA Strategy Manager, Texas Instruments, "The Mixed-Signal

Methodology Guide is a solid step in the right direction. The verification and implementation techniques and

design examples provide valuable guidance for engineers addressing the challenges in advanced mixed-signal

designs."
