Cadence RF Design Methodology Kit
Adopt the latest verification technologies for an optimized and repeatable RF design processTheRF Design Methodology Kit delivers verified methodologies packaged in asystem-to-tapeout RFIC design flow, demonstrated on a segmentrepresentative design.
Cadence RF Design Methodology Kit Datasheet »
TheCadence® RF Design Methodology Kit shortens product development cycletime by increasing RF design productivity and silicon predictability.It demonstrates advanced methodologies for intelligently managing RLCKparasitics, inductor synthesis and modeling, full-chip verificationthrough a "local" envelope technique, and PLL simulation. The Kit alsolinks system-level design with IC implementation, helping designersquickly and accurately verify complete designs that includesystem-level digital, analog baseband, and RF circuitry.
TheRF Design Methodology Kit is based on an 802.11b/g CMOS WLAN referencedesign, which uses IP from Helic S.A. Athens, Greece. The segmentrepresentative design focuses on simplifying challenges associated withthe RF transceiver and analog portion of the baseband circuitry. Fullyextracted RLCK views ensure silicon predictability by accuratelyverifying the chip at the circuit level and upper levels with detailedparasitic information. Intelligent RC reduction and simulationstrategies further ensure rapid simulation results. Reusable,pre–set-up testbenches, models, and simulation plans allow RF designersto fully and quickly leverage the silicon-accurate design capabilitiesof Virtuoso® custom design technologies.
