Berkeley Design Automation
Joins the Cadence Connections Program
PLL Noise Analysis Capability Integrated Into Cadence's Virtuoso Analog
Design Environment
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – September 8, 2005 - Berkeley Design Automation
Inc., a new analog/RF electronic design automation company, today
announced its membership in the Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
Connections® program and the integration of its first product, PLL
Noise Analyzer™, into the Cadence® Virtuoso® Analog Design
Environment. Through its Connections program membership, Berkeley
Design Automation is able to provide analog/RF IC designers with an
integrated flow for noise analysis of high-performance analog/RF
integrated circuits within the Virtuoso Analog Design Environment.
“Berkeley Design Automation’s stochastic circuit analysis enables fast
and accurate noise analysis of complex analog/RF integrated circuits,”
said Dr. Ravi Subramanian, Berkeley Design Automation president and
CEO. “Membership in the Cadence Connections program ensures us a smooth
production design flow for our mutual customers.”
About Berkeley Design Automation
Berkeley Design Automation Inc. was founded in 2003 to address the
verification challenges in the design of next-generation
high-performance analog/RF integrated circuits (ICs). Berkeley Design
Automation is a venture-backed, private company funded by Woodside Fund
and Bessemer Venture Partners. The company’s technology characterizes
the nonlinear, time-varying behavior of complex analog and RF circuits,
providing extremely accurate predictions that dramatically reduce the
need for silicon respins. The company’s first product, PLL Noise
Analyzer, the industry's first noise analysis tool for phase-locked
loops (PLLs), has already been adopted by semiconductor industry
leaders. For more information, see www.berkeley-da.com.
About Cadence Connections Program
The Cadence Connections program promotes open interoperability in all
areas of electronic design including digital, custom IC,
analog/mixed-signal and PCB design. By attracting best-in-class
partners, Cadence offers the industry's largest collection of
third-party solutions operating fully with the Cadence suite of design
tools. The Connections program has over 130 member companies working
toward developing an optimized silicon design chain for customers.
