“In the first quarter of 2016, we continued to innovate and execute to drive growth and deliver results for our customers. With customers enthusiastically embracing our Palladium Z1 Enterprise Emulation Platform, Cadence achieved its best quarter ever for hardware revenue. Additionally, the release of the next-generation Virtuoso® platform sets a new standard for analog and mixed-signal design for broad applications including automotive and IoT,” said Lip-Bu Tan, president and chief executive officer. “Our recently announced pending acquisition of Rocketick Technologies will further strengthen our System Design Enablement strategy by delivering ultra-high-performance simulation to accelerate the development of complete end-product systems.”
