INCISIVE XTREME SERIES OF
ACCELERATO R S / E M U L ATORS
Instant Swap Among Simulation, Acceleration, and Emulation
The Cadence
platform’s Design Team family, boosts verifi cation productivity
with instant swap among simulation, acceleration, and emulation.
The newest products in the series, Incisive Xtreme III Desktop and
Incisive Xtreme III System, offer high performance and capacity
with desktop density and power, and integrate with evolving
simulation-based verifi cation fl ows. Xtreme III System adds in-
circuit emulation capabilities for early system-level verifi cation.
