Highlights:
- Cadence and TSMC collaborate on N6RF design enablement to
accelerate innovation in mobile, 5G and wireless applications
- Joint customers are designing with the new PDK based on the
N6RF design flow
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that
Cadence® RFIC solutions are enabled to support TSMC’s
N6RF Design Reference Flow and process design kit (PDK) to
accelerate mobile, 5G and wireless innovation. Through the ongoing
collaboration between Cadence and TSMC, mutual customers are
already designing with the Cadence solutions for TSMC’s latest N6RF
CMOS semiconductor technology.
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,

Optimized for TSMC’s N6RF process technology, the Cadence
Virtuoso® Schematic Editor, Virtuoso ADE Suite and the
integrated Spectre® X Simulator and RF option are
included in the RF Design Reference Flow. Customers can benefit
from several key features, which enable them to effectively manage
corner simulations, perform statistical analyses and achieve design
centering and circuit optimization. Additionally, the flows offer
seamless integration between the Cadence EMX® Planar 3D Solver and
the Virtuoso Layout Suite EXL implementation environment, which
enables designers to streamline EM modeling tasks and leverage
automation to stitch S-parameter models into the golden design
schematic for RF simulations automatically.
For post-layout analysis, the S-parameter models are layered
into Cadence Quantus™ Extraction Solution results for
high-fidelity RF signoff circuit and EM-IR simulations. Overall,
the new Cadence RFIC full flow offers an efficient methodology that
lets engineers achieve design goals—performance, power efficiency
and reliability—in a single, tightly integrated design
environment.
“Through our ongoing collaboration with Cadence, we’re making it
easier for customers to achieve their productivity goals using the
jointly developed design flow and our advanced N6RF process
technology, which offers significant performance and power
efficiency boosts,” said Suk Lee, vice president of the Design
Infrastructure Management Division at TSMC. “With the availability
of the new PDK, those creating next-generation mobile, 5G, and
wireless designs can adopt our technologies quickly and accelerate
the path to advanced-node innovation.”
“The comprehensive Cadence RFIC solutions cover all aspects of
RF design—from RF custom passive device generation and modeling to
EM-IR analysis with self-heating. With this unified flow, customers
can focus on innovative design, rather than spending time managing
disparate, error-prone toolsets,” said Tom Beckley, senior vice
president and general manager in the Custom IC & PCB Group at
Cadence. “By working closely with TSMC, our customers have access
to the advanced capabilities included with TSMC’s N6RF process
technology and the RF design reference flow, enabling them to
achieve SoC design excellence and deliver competitive designs to
market much more efficiently.”
