Cadence Showcases IP for Mobile, Home Entertainment and Automotive Markets at CES 2014

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Dec 24, 2013 -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDNS) plans to showcase its IP (intellectual property) that helps chip designers quickly integrate next-generation technology in new consumer devices at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Visitors can make appointments to see the Tensilica® demonstrations, meet with Cadence executives, and discuss design challenges.

The following products containing Cadence Tensilica IP are scheduled for demonstrations at the show:

• Voice Activation, Command Set, Voice Biometrics, and Speaker Authentication
  Cadence plans to demonstrate Sensory’s TrulyHandsfree™ 3.0 technology for voice activation, which enables personalization of the user experience by calling up a specific user’s history, preferences and settings. Sensory’s speaker verification technology uses voice biometrics and analysis to authenticate a specific individual. Sensory’s TrulyHandsfree complete set of voice activation and recognition products allow users to access a device with just their voice, bypassing the typical four-digit number manually entered on the screen for access.
• Noise Reduction/Echo Cancellation and Beam Forming
  The demo of Fortemedia iS600 voice pre-processing is scheduled to showcase acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), beam forming and noise reduction.
• Waves MaxxAudio® Audio Post-Processing for Sound Enhancement
  The MaxxAudio demo incorporates a host of proprietary signal-processing technologies to deliver dynamic and immersive sound from the small speakers typically found in many consumer electronics products.
• Kronoton HDSX® Audio Post-Processing for Sound Enhancement in Automotive
  Kronoton’s HDSX High Definition Sound Expansion lets the listener dive into the dynamic, multidimensional complexity of listening, providing music in its natural space, weighted ideally to its direction.
• Audio Post-Processing for Mobile Devices - Dolby® DS1
  Dolby DS1 for Digital Plus provides mobile users with home theater-inspired sound quality by enabling audio/voice boost and by compensating for unintelligible dialogue, extreme volume variation, and deficiencies inherent in the small speakers and low-power amplifiers on most mobile devices.
• A leading brand game console
  Gaming audio and voice processing demo using the Tensilica HiFi Audio DSP.
• Wi-Fi 802.11ac
  The CES 2014 schedule includes, in collaboration with RivieraWaves, a joint demonstration of WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac PHY and MAC for programmable multi-standard next-generation connectivity solutions.
