Situation
• As we venture outside our predominantly digital/high-speed market we
are encountering RF and mixed signal design requirements
– These designs require unique RF and mixed signal elements
• Allegro is widely used but lacks any RF and/or mixed signal capabilities
• Lack of RF design tools in package and PCB, especially for mixed
signal design
• Cadence has provided customers robust solutions in the whole design
flow in digital design, customers hope we can provide the same
solutions in RF/mixed signal design
– RF design in IC
– RF design in package
– RF PCB design
