Our strategy is to bring the best technology to market for 0.13-micron-and-below design, said Ray Bingham, president and CEO of Cadence Design Systems. We have been building the solutions for the next generation of IC design for more than a year now.

The proposed acquisition of Simplex fuels our efforts to supply our customers with the world’s best technology to ensure 1st Silicon Success®. Simplex’s world-class technology and management team will be making significant contributions to the combined company.
