August 30, 2012 -- ClioSoft, Inc. has authored a chapter on data management in the Mixed-Signal Methodology Guide that was published by Cadence Design Systems in August 2012. The Guide provides a broad overview of the design, verification and implementation methodologies required for analog/ mixed-signal (AMS) intellectual property (IP) and system-on-chip (SOC) designs.

The chapter on data management looks at today's mixed-signal design environment and outlines traditional team-design techniques and pitfalls as well as the general requirements for a data-management system. It explains how to manage projects with a data-management system, how such a system impacts collaboration across globally distributed design centers, and how team design can leverage a data-management system for more efficient workflow, to manage engineering change orders, to track releases and variants, and to more effectively reuse IP and process design kits (PDKs) across projects. Examples of rules, roles, access and permissions flesh out methodologies for deployment productivity gains.

ClioSoft will be holding a weekly drawing to give away copies of the Guide. Register to enter the drawing and to receive a PDF copy of the data management chapter.
