Enterprises seeking a RFIC simulation software solution to model complex, integrated circuits
About PathWave RFIC Design
Go beyond traditional RF simulation to design, analyze, and verify radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs). Achieve confidence with steady-state and nonlinear solvers for design and verification. Wireless standard libraries accelerate the validation of complex RFICs. Before taping out an RFIC, verification of IC specifications via RF simulation is a must. Simulations include effects of layout parasitics, complex modulated signals, and digital control circuitry. With PathWave RFIC Design, you can simulate in both the frequency and time domain and bring your designs to and from Cadence Virtuoso. Accurately model components on silicon chips. Optimize designs with sweeps and load-pull analysis. Integrate RF designs in the Cadence Virtuoso environment. Increase performance using Monte Carlo and yield analysis. Simplify debugging with safe operating area warnings. Utilize the latest foundry technology immediately.

SiLogy
Our next-generation web platform empowers chip developers and verification engineers to design and debug 10x faster. Build and run thousands of tests in parallel at the push of a button with Verilator. Seamlessly share test results and waveforms with anyone in your organization, tag coworkers directly on signals, track test and regression failures. We use Verilator to compile Dockerized simulation binaries and distribute test runs across our compute cluster. Then we collect the results and log files and optionally rerun failing tests to generate waveforms. With Docker, we can ensure that test runs are consistent and reproducible. SiLogy makes chip developers more productive by enabling faster design and debug times. Before SiLogy, the state-of-the-art for debugging a failing test involved copying lines from log files, debugging from waveforms on a local machine, or rerunning a simulation that might have taken days to run.

Sigrity X OptimizePI
To ensure you get high performance at a system and component level, while at the same time saving between 15% and 50% in decoupling capacitor (decap) costs, Cadence® Sigrity X OptimizePI™ technology does a complete AC frequency analysis of boards and IC packages. Supporting both pre- and post-layout studies, it quickly pinpoints the best decap selections and placement locations to meet your power-delivery network (PDN) needs at the lowest possible cost. Sigrity X OptimizePI technology is built on proven Cadence hybrid electromagnetic circuit analysis technology in combination with the unique Sigrity optimization engine to help you quickly pinpoint the best possible decap selections and placement locations.

Ansys Exalto
Ansys Exalto is a post-LVS RLCk extraction software solution that enables IC designers to accurately capture unknown crosstalk among different blocks in the design hierarchy by extracting lumped-element parasitics and generating an accurate model for electrical, magnetic and substrate coupling. Exalto interfaces with most LVS tools and can complement the RC extraction tool of your choice. Ansys Exalto post-LVS RLCk extraction lets IC designers accurately predict electromagnetic and substrate coupling effects for signoff on circuits that were previously "too big to analyze.” The extracted models are back-annotated to the schematic or netlist, and support all circuit simulators. The proliferation of RF and high-speed circuits in modern silicon systems has raised electromagnetic coupling to a first order effect that must be accurately modeled to reliably achieve silicon success.

RFPro Circuit
Go beyond traditional RF simulation to design, analyze, and verify radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs). Achieve confidence with steady-state and nonlinear solvers for design and verification. Wireless standard libraries accelerate the validation of complex RFICs. Model components on silicon chips accurately. Optimize designs with sweeps and load-pull analysis. Simulate RF designs in the Cadence Virtuoso and Synopsys Custom Compiler environments. Increase performance using Monte Carlo and yield analysis. Assess error vector magnitude (EVM) for the latest communication standards early in the design phase. Use the latest foundry technology immediately. Monitoring system IC specifications such as EVM via RF simulation early in the RFIC design phase is a must. Simulations include effects of layout parasitics, complex modulated signals, and digital control circuitry. With Keysight RFPro Circuit, you can simulate in both the frequency and time domain.
