The agreement enables United Micro to leverage Cadence’s advanced EDA software tools and Design IP solutions. This way, United Micro is able to accelerate its product development cycle and bring innovative products to market faster.

The use of Cadence IPs – such as LPDDR, PCIe, USB, and others consisting of pre-designed and pre-verified building blocks – will allow United Micro to enhance the performance and power efficiency of its products while minimizing design risk and ensuring compliance with industry standards. United Micro also plans to use a complete Cadence software solution for analog, mixed-signal and digital design and front to back-end verification. For designing, simulating, and verifying its RF integrated circuits (RFICs), United Micro has already started utilizing the Cadence Cloud portfolio.

To date, the Cadence Cloud portfolio has helped United Micro enable its RFIC design team with a state-of-the-art EDA environment without the need for a server infrastructure. United Micro was able to implement the Cadence cloud solution in just 14 business days with exceptional support during a very busy time of year, which is vital for a startup.

As a fabless semiconductor startup focused on developing intelligent, secure, and reliable cellular IoT solutions, Cadence’s advanced tools and technologies can enable the company to achieve great successes. United Micro’s access to the Cadence Cloud portfolio marks a significant milestone, and the company is just beginning to reap the benefits of the powerful software.
