Griffin Securities today maintained a Buy rating on Cadence Designs (NASDAQ: CDNS) with a price target of $16.00. Yesterday the company announce a $380 million acquisition of Tensilica.

Commenting on developments, anayst Jay Vleeschhouwer said, "The purchase will significantly expand Cadence's position in design IP, and enhance its ability to cover multiple end-markets for IP, including mobile/wireless, automotive, and network infrastructure. The specific functions provided by Tensilica should complement, at a minimum, the custom IC (analog/mixedsignal) tools and workflows in which Cadence predominates."

The purchase of Tensilica will take Cadence's IP revenues to over $100 million, noted the analyst, although that would still be smaller than Synopsys' (Nasdaq: SNPS) IP & systems business.
