Business Highlights

Cadence showed strong growth in both analog/mixed-signal and digital SP&R product areas.

The need for analog, RF and mixed-signal capability is driven by the rapid growth in communications designs and the convergence convergence

 of communications, computing computing - computer  and multi-media--all on a single device.

Bookings of custom IC analog/mixed-signal solutions were up almost 40 percent for the year while 19 of the top 20 customers purchased Custom IC solutions in the fourth quarter.

In digital IC, the continuing evolution of the semiconductor industry to smaller geometries of 0.18, 0.13 and 0.10 micrometers, coupled with the technology leadership of Cadence in this area, drove growth.

In the fourth quarter, eight out of the top 10 customers purchased new-generation Cadence SP&R design technology--the first fully integrated solution available in the market. For the year, Cadence booked more than $170 million in new-generation SP&R, up 54 percent over 2000.

Cadence strengthened its digital design flow with the fourth-quarter acquisition of Silicon Perspective Corporation (SPC 1. (business) SPC - Statistical Process Control. Something to do with quality management.

), the leader in full chip virtual prototyping (1) Creating a demo of a new system. Prototyping is essential for clarifying information requirements. The design of a system (functional specs) must be finalized before the system can be built. . The acquisition enables Cadence to provide a solution that accelerates the implementation of very large designs containing many millions of gates, based on SPC technology and combined with the proven Cadence SP&R design technology.

"The core of our business is strong and growing," said Bingham. "We offer the leading technology for today's designs, the best technology for next-generation designs, clear strength in the key growth areas, and the most-complete portfolio of solutions in the industry."
