Cadence Completes Digital Product Line Segmentation with Introduction of Encounter GXL Technologies; SoC Encounter GXL, Encounter RTL Compiler GXL and Encounter Conformal Low Power GXL Address Challenges at 65nm and Beyond
SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Dec. 5, 2005—
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDNS) today
announced that it has completed its new product segmentation strategy
for the Cadencer(R) Encounter(R) digital IC design platform announced
at CDNLive! in September of this year. The now fully segmented Cadence
Encounter platform provides customers with multiple levels of
technology tailored to specific levels of digital IC design
complexity.
The Encounter offerings comprise three levels, Encounter L, XL and
GXL. The Encounter L product series provides an easy-to-use,
integrated, value-priced implementation environment for less complex,
flat designs at 150 nanometers and above with gate counts below 5
million. The Encounter XL product series targets large-scale,
high-performance, hierarchical designs over 5 million gates. The third
series, Encounter GXL, announced today, caters to leading-edge, very
high performance designs at 65 nanometers and beyond.
Three separate Cadence press releases discussing this news in
greater detail were issued today.
