abstract
-
The collaboration results in a silicon-proven SP4T RF SOI switch reference flow using the Virtuoso Design Platform with integrated electromagnetic analysis tools
-
This flow demonstrates the benefits of a unified design environment for chip and package co-design and simulation
-
This comprehensive flow includes custom integrated circuit design suites, electromagnetic field simulators and multiphysics analysis tools to bring designs to closure faster
Shanghai, China, August 17, 2021 - Cadence Electronics (Cadence, Inc., NASDAQ: CDNS) and Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ/TASE: TSEM), a leading foundry of high-value analog semiconductor solutions, today announced that they will launch Silicon-proven SP4T RF SOI switch reference flow . This reference flow applies the Cadence ® Virtuoso ® Design Platform RF solution (Virtuoso RF solution) to provide a faster design convergence path for advanced 5G wireless, wired infrastructure and automotive integrated circuit product development.
This new RF reference design flow leverages a comprehensive set of mixed-signal and RF design, simulation, system analysis and signoff tools that are optimized for Tower's CMOS, BiCMOS, SOI and silicon germanium (SiGe) process technologies . Customers can now use this new product to accelerate RF, mmWave and high-performance analog designs and increase signoff confidence.
Tower's RF and high-performance analog design enablement solutions, PDKs and reference flows complement its own best-in-class process technologies for wireless and wired products, including CS18 and TPS65RS for RF-SOI and SBC18 for SiGe BiCMOS. RF and mmWave IC and packaging co-design has always been a critical issue for Tower customers, and now they can solve it using silicon-proven tools and processes. Customers can design differentiated integrated circuits based on cost and performance optimization.
As frequencies increase, so does the industry's need to accurately integrate multiphysics effects. To this end, Tower provides RF and millimeter-wave PDKs that integrate Cadence Celsius™ Thermal Solver, EMX ® Planar 3D Solver and Clarity™ 3D Solver technologies to fully consider the electromagnetic (EM) and thermal integrity of the design. Multiphysics analysis products complement the existing Cadence toolset used by Tower, including Virtuoso, Specter ® Simulation Platform, Quantus™ Extraction Solution, integrated Litho Physical Analyzer and Innovus™ Implementation System.
