Highlights:
- Virtuoso Layout Suite EXL, including the EMX 3D Planer Solver,
delivered 2X performance improvement over legacy solution
- Spectre X RF Simulator integrated into Virtuoso ADE Product
Suite accelerated harmonic balance and significantly boosted
simulation performance
- AWR VSS software provided RF budget and noise analysis as well
as integration of test and measurement for 5G NR and IoT
communication standards
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that
Sequans Communications S.A., a leader in 4G and 5G IoT solutions,
has successfully adopted the Cadence® Virtuoso® RF Solution,
including the Cadence Spectre® X RF Simulator and Cadence EMX®
Planar 3D Solver, for high-frequency RF harmonic balance and
electromagnetic (EM) analysis and signoff, to develop its
next-generation 5G IoT platform. Sequans also used the Cadence AWR®
Visual System Simulator™ (VSS) software to predict and measure
overall system performance and functionality in support of the 5G
New Radio (NR) and internet of things (IoT) communication
standards. The comprehensive, full-suite solution from Cadence
enabled Sequans engineers to achieve a 2X performance improvement
versus its legacy solution and reduce time to market while ensuring
a high level of accuracy.
“Designing 5G IoT devices is simultaneously a complex
engineering challenge where designers must address stringent 5G
performance specs as well as a cost-conscious exercise to meet the
price targets of the IoT marketplace,” said Bertrand Debray,
Executive Vice President and GM, Broadband IoT at Sequans. “The
Cadence Virtuoso Layout Suite EXL, powered by the Cadence EMX
Planar 3D Solver, gives our engineers advanced capabilities within
a single unified design environment that greatly improves design
team efficiency for meeting aggressive schedule goals. We are very
confident and excited about using Cadence RF technologies in this
project.”
The Sequans RF engineering team leveraged the Virtuoso RF
Solution, which has a highly optimized design environment with
embedded EM and multi-technology capabilities, to drive robust RF
simulation and analyses. Integrating the EMX Planar 3D Solver
directly into the Virtuoso Layout Suite EXL environment empowered
Sequans engineers to efficiently design and verify critical on-chip
and off-chip passive devices and interconnect. The multi-technology
capabilities of the Virtuoso RF Solution let integrated circuits
(IC)s, packages and boards be combined and co-designed within a
single, unified design platform, thereby significantly reducing EM
setup time and effort and allowing designers to meet the growing EM
requirements of 5G, IoT and other advanced communication standards.
Additionally, the seamless interplay of advanced simulation,
multiphysics and RF technologies within the Cadence solution
delivers a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive and extensible platform for
chip, package and board design through to the end-to-end complete
system design, analysis and signoff.
“The Cadence Intelligent System Design strategy, which enables
customers to design from chips to packages/boards and large
electrical systems more efficiently, continues to gain momentum
globally with Sequans being one of the latest companies to embrace
the Cadence RF solution,” said Tom Beckley, senior vice president
and general manager of the Custom IC & PCB Group at Cadence.
“Our electronic design software is recognized worldwide for its
innovation and complete full-flow solutions that seamlessly
leverage best-in-class EM signoff technology including the EMX and
Clarity technologies.”
The EMX Planar 3D Solver is part of the broader set of
multiphysics system-level solutions offered within the Virtuoso RF
Solution. It supports the company’s Intelligent System Design™
strategy, delivering complete EM signoff for SoC design excellence.
