Richard Goering has just published an in-depth analysis in his Industry Insights blog that explains what the Cadence purchase of signal- and power-integrity EDA toolmaker Sigrity means for pcb and IC package designers. Goering quotes Brad Griffin, product marketing director for PCB and IC packaging at Cadence:
“I think we can expand the Sigrity user space to more EE generalists and not just serve experts who are responsible for a final signoff solution.”
So why write this up for 3D Thursday in the EDA360 Insider? Because Goering writes this late in his article:
“Griffin… said that the Sigrity technology will be useful for 2.5D silicon interposer packaging, and that ‘we believe the technology should be applicable’ to 3D die stacks.”
