Xpeedic RFIC Solutions is Xpeedic Technology’s flagship product for RFIC applications. It provides an RFIC passive extraction tool (IRIS), a fast PDK model generation tool (iModeler) and an RF passive PDK verification tool (iVerifier). RFIC Solutions is seamlessly integrated in Virtuoso with an accelerated 3D full-wave EM solver; this allows designers to stay inside Virtuoso to run EM simulations of passives and interconnect and back-annotate to their original circuit to examine the parasitic effects. Both distributed and multi-core parallelization technologies help RFIC engineers dramatically reduce time to market and R&D costs.
With the rapid growth of wireless and mobile communications, the demands on RF connectivity ICs are ever increasing. While the semiconductor process moves to advanced node technologies at 28 nm and below, traditional quasi-static extraction is not able to accurately model passives and interconnects. On the other hand, the 3D full-wave solvers in traditional RF/microwave design tools lack speed and usability in the IC design flow. RFIC designers need a 3D full-wave EM simulation that combines both. IRIS is such a tool, providing 3D full-wave accuracy, allowing designers to quickly perform EM simulation without leaving the layout environment.
