Consolidating RF Flow for High-Frequency RF Product Designs
Cadence's Virtuoso RF Solution offers a comprehensive design flow that consolidates RF design challenges across chip, package, and board levels. By providing a well-integrated design environment, Virtuoso RF Solution addresses the complexities of collaborating across design teams to create cutting-edge high-frequency RFIC, RF modules, and multi-chip modules. This solution integrates all necessary tools into a single, seamless flow, enhancing productivity and efficiency in RF system design.
Advanced Single Design Environment for Simulation, Layout, Analysis, and Verification
One of the key benefits of Virtuoso RF Solution is its advanced single design environment, which includes simulation, layout, analysis, and verification capabilities. This integrated environment reduces design failures caused by manual data translation, improves productivity by allowing simultaneous editing of module and chip layouts with multi-PDK support, and smartly integrates parasitic extraction and electromagnetic (EM) solvers, along with interoperability of Cadence packaging and layout technologies.
Automating Manual Work for Faster, More Accurate Designs
Virtuoso RF Solution automates manual work processes to facilitate faster and more accurate designs. Built on the Virtuoso System Design Platform, this solution incorporates co-design capabilities that enable simultaneous editing of the IC and System-in-Package (SiP) module. Additionally, multiple EM analysis solvers offer designers various physical extraction methods that seamlessly integrate back into the schematic without disrupting the design integrity. With trusted simulation and analysis engines tightly integrated with Virtuoso ADE Product Suite and Cadence Spectre RF Option, high-performance simulation is ensured.
Electromagnetic Analysis and RF Simulation
Virtuoso RF Solution streamlines electromagnetic analysis by integrating multiple EM solvers into the design environment, automating critical passive component and interconnect analyses. Designers can select the most suitable EM solver for their designs, including Cadence's Clarity 3D Solver, EMX Planar 3D Solver, and Quantus Extraction Solution. This capability allows designers to run multiple design experiments efficiently and choose the best solutions for their RF systems.
