Highlights:
- Cadence’s comprehensive, optimized RF flow now includes the
new, AI-powered Virtuoso Studio to support TSMC’s N16 mmWave, N6RF
and N4PRF design reference flows
- Joint customers are actively designing with TSMC PDKs
- Cadence and TSMC’s latest collaboration accelerates innovation
in mobile, 5G, and WiFi-7 wireless applications
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced it
has collaborated with TSMC to integrate the new
Cadence® Virtuoso® Studio into the TSMC N16 mmWave
design reference flow and N6RF design reference flow, and added
support for the N4PRF design reference flow. With this latest
development in Cadence’s and TSMC’s long history of collaboration,
joint customers now have access to complete RF design reference
flows on the N16, N6, and N4PRF processes for developing optimized,
highly reliable, next-generation RFIC designs for use in radar, 5G
and WiFi-7 wireless applications for the mobile, automotive,
healthcare and aerospace markets. Mutual customers are already
using the design reference flows and corresponding TSMC process
design kits (PDKs) for RFIC design projects.
The Cadence RFIC solution supports TSMC’s advanced processes and
features automation capabilities to help customers spend less time
developing and integrating critical RF functionality into their
designs. The solution supports all aspects of RF design, including
passive device modeling, assisted layout automation, and
electromagnetics (EM) simulations.
The flows are supported by the latest version of the Cadence
Virtuoso Schematic Editor and can deliver unmatched productivity
benefits. Additionally, the flows enable a seamless integration
between the Cadence EMX® Planar 3D Solver and Quantus™ Smart View
tools for full-circuit extraction without parasitic double
counting. The flows are newly enhanced to use purpose mapping for
intelligent device scaling when migrating schematics between
technology nodes. Purpose mapping allows designers to capture the
purpose of devices so that they may be scaled correctly upon
process migration, according to their function in the circuit.
Furthermore, a new advanced results reviewer provides valuable
insight into design sensitivities such as managing corner
simulations, and achieving design centering and circuit
optimization. The flows also include the Cadence Virtuoso ADE Suite
and the integrated Spectre® X Simulator and RF
Option.
“Throughout our long-standing and productive collaboration with
Cadence, the goal has always been to facilitate customer
productivity and innovation by providing design flows that simplify
and accelerate the development of advanced ICs,” said Dan
Kochpatcharin, head of the Design Infrastructure Management
Division at TSMC. “By integrating Cadence technologies into our
leading-edge RF design flows, customers will be able to meet
industry demand for next-generation RFICs that provide low-power,
high-performance connectivity to mobile, 5G and WiFi-7
applications.”
“TSMC and Cadence customers are under tremendous pressure to
rapidly develop RFIC designs in support of booming demand for 5G
and other types of wireless connectivity,” said Tom Beckley, senior
vice president and general manager in the Custom IC & PCB Group
at Cadence. “Working closely with TSMC, we have updated our RF
reference flows to leverage the unparalleled power of our latest
release, Virtuoso Studio. We continuously listen to our mutual
customers to understand their real-world design requirements, and
their feedback has enabled us to tailor our flows so they can
deliver leading-edge designs in a timely manner.”
The Cadence RFIC solutions support the Cadence Intelligent
System Design™ strategy, enabling system-on-chip (SoC) design
excellence. To learn more about Cadence RFIC solutions, visit
