About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Cadence Custom/Analog Design Migration Flow Accelerates Adoption of TSMC Advanced Process Technologies

  • AI-powered Cadence Virtuoso Studio automates circuit optimization of IC design migration across TSMC’s process technologies
  • New generative design technology delivers up to 3X reduction in design migration time

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced the expansion of its node-to-node design migration flow based on the Cadence® Virtuoso® Studio, which is compatible with all TSMC advanced nodes, including the latest N3E and N2 process technologies. This generative design migration flow was developed by Cadence and TSMC to provide joint customers with a simplified and automated approach to migrating custom and analog IC designs among TSMC’s advanced process technologies. Customers already using the flow have successfully reduced migration time by up to 3X when compared with manual migration.

Virtuoso Studio facilitates the migration of schematic cells, parameters, pins and wiring from one TSMC process node to another. The Virtuoso ADE Suite’s simulation and circuit optimization environment then tunes and optimizes the new schematic to ensure the design achieves all required specifications and measurements. Cadence and TSMC customers can then automatically recognize and extract groups of devices in an existing layout, and apply them to similar groups in the new layout, using Virtuoso Layout Suite’s generative design technology.

This flow allows customers to migrate a wide range of analog designs on TSMC process technologies. TSMC process nodes supported by this flow include:

  • N40 to N22
  • N22 to N12
  • N12 to N6
  • N6 to N4
  • N5 to N3E
  • N4/N5 to N3E
  • N3E to N2

“Many TSMC customers are looking to migrate legacy designs to TSMC advanced processes to take full advantage of the higher performance and lower power benefits that TSMC provides,” said Dan Kochpatcharin, head of the Design Infrastructure Management Division at TSMC. “We have worked closely with Cadence to offer our mutual customers the ability to easily migrate their valuable custom IP. These enhanced PDKs and methodologies simplify and accelerate the design migration process and speed time to market.”

“Through the expansion of our collaboration with TSMC on custom/analog process migration, our joint customers benefit from our generative technologies that make custom/analog migration simpler and less time-consuming,” said Tom Beckley, senior vice president and general manager in the Custom IC & PCB Group at Cadence. “Using our new Virtuoso Studio, we’ve developed an advanced migration flow to help our mutual customers be more productive and meet stringent time-to-market goals.”

Cadence Virtuoso Studio supports the Cadence Intelligent System Design strategy, enabling system-on-chip (SoC) design excellence. To learn more about Virtuoso Studio, please visit www.cadence.com/go/VirtuosoStudioDesignMigration.
