Cadence is an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) environment in which different applications and tools can are integrated together. This allows all the stages of IC design and verification to be done in a single environment. The different tools are supported by different fabrication technologies allowing for customization of the Cadence environment to fit the particular technology.
