Cadence Makes Bluetooth Painless; IC and Software Design Services Showcased at CeBit, Hall 17, Booth B26.HANNOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 1999--The Symbionics group of Cadence Design Systems (company) Cadence Design Systems - A company that sells electronic design automation software and services. http://cadence.com/. See also Verilog. , Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CDN (Content Delivery Network) A system of distributed content on a large intranet or the public Internet in which copies of content are replicated and cached throughout the network. ) introduced a set of design services for the Bluetooth wireless connectivity standard today that enable product, module, and integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC) manufacturers to quickly add this feature. Cadence is also developing proprietary Bluetooth IC cores and protocol software, building on a 10-year plus track record in the development of application-specific wireless core technology. The Cadence(R) Symbionics Wireless Design Group provides customers with full product, board, and chip-level development capabilities, with areas of specialization in several established and burgeoning markets, including digital cellular, digital cordless, wireless data, messaging, satellite, and GPS. Bluetooth Design Services Cadence can integrate a range of Bluetooth technologies enabling customers to bring their products to market quickly. For customers wanting to create Bluetooth add-ons for existing products, the Symbionics Wireless Design Group has worked with Ericsson to create the Ericsson Bluetooth Developers Kit. The Developers Kit -- designed, distributed, and supported by Cadence -- is helping customers quickly develop small form-factor Bluetooth accessories based on the chipset used in the kit. For more integrated applications, Cadence is developing IC core technology to allow customers to integrate Bluetooth into ASICs in their existing or new products. The IC cores, including the Bluetooth Link Management Controller and CVSD CVSD Continuously Variable Slope Delta (modulation) CVSD Continuously Variable Slope Detection CVSD Continuous Variable Delta Modulation voice coder, give an ultra-low power implementation of Bluetooth. Protocol software offerings include the Link Management Protocol, Host Controller Interface A host controller interface is a register level interface which allows a host controller for USB or FireWire to communicate with the operating system of a personal computer. , Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (protocol) Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol - (L2CAP) A Bluetooth protocol in the Core Protocol Stack providing data services to higher layer Bluetooth protocols. L2CAP Layer Tutorial. , and have been designed to be fully portable across multiple microcontroller platforms and Real-Time Operating Systems. These cores form the basis of world-class design services, accelerating time-to-market from the product specification phase, through product design and integration, to type approval and support into manufacturing.
