Keysight, Synopsys, and Ansys accelerate RFIC semiconductor design
Summary
Higher circuit frequencies, smaller feature sizes, and complex layout-dependent-effects make high speed design physics challenging, requiring more accurate and comprehensive modelling and simulation to achieve the highest performance and robust product reliability. VeloceRF delivers fully automatic silicon layout synthesis for electromagnetic devices including multi-layer inductor spiral, baluns/transformers, and transmission lines. Keysight PathWave ADS RFPro provides rapid, interactive EM-circuit co-simulation and analysis to find and fix layout-dependent-effects up front in the development cycle. Other commercial tools and workflows do not always include these newest foundry requirements, and often lack the capacity to model modern analogue designs with hundreds of coupled signal ports.” Sanjay Bali, Vice President Strategy and Product Management EDA Group, Synopsys, said: “Synopsys, Ansys, and Keysight have harnessed decades of expertise in custom analogue, RF, and multi-physics design to reduce risk and accelerate success for our mutual customers. Our latest collaboration with Ansys and Keysight on the new RF design reference flow supporting TSMC’s advanced N4P process provides an open and optimized flow that delivers exceptional quality-of-results for advanced Wi-Fi-7 systems.” John Lee, Vice President and General Manager, Electronics, Semiconductor, Optics Business, Ansys, said: “Multiphysics raises novel challenges for our customers to optimise power, area, reliability, and performance as RF frequencies climb into the millimetre wave and sub-THz range.
