Cadence Design Systems Inc. announced an expanded Cadence Sigrity technology portfolio with the Sigrity Parallel Computing 4-pack and the Sigrity System Explorer, an updated power-aware system signal integrity (SI) feature, as well as flexible purchasing options for PCB and IC Package design and analysis. The Sigrity technology portfolio enables product creation efficiency by increasing signoff-level PCB extraction accuracy. Sigrity Parallel Computing 4-pack is a license that allows designers to run parallel computing tasks across four additional computers, thereby accelerating product creation time and tripling the speed of PCB extraction of signoff-accurate interconnect models.

Sigrity System Explorer features general purpose topology exploration, enabling power-aware signal integrity and transient power integrity (PI) analysis across multiple fabrics. The power-aware system signal integrity (SI) feature now supports LPDDR4 analysis with full JEDEC compliance checking, including bit error rate analysis with high capacity channel simulation for memory interface. Licensing Options Cadence is also announcing several new product bundles, which provide flexible licensing options for small analysis teams with big analysis requirements.

These bundles include: Combined license for Allegro Sigrity SI and Allegro Sigrity PI base products, when a single user is responsible for both SI and PI tasks. Combined System SI license for both Serial Link and Parallel Bus analysis, when a single user is responsible for both memory interfaces and SerDes interfaces.
