The acquisition is expected to expand Cadence's reach in the aerospace and defense industry, and strengthen CEVA’s focus on IP for high-growth technologies addressing wireless communications, sensing and edge AI
“Cadence and Intrinsix are well-aligned in their missions to enable customers to achieve design excellence,” said Neil Zaman, Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer at Cadence. “Through the acquisition of Intrinsix, we will scale our system and IC design services team to support customers in key high-growth verticals like the aerospace and defense industry who are faced with meeting tight time-to-market deadlines and ever-increasing chip and system-level complexity.”
