RFIC depends on Cadence Virtuoso Spectre RF circuit simulator, Cadence Virtuoso layout editor, and the Cadence Assura verification suite for RFIC designs. The Virtuoso technologies reduced the need for the repetitive manual work, enabling engineers to focus their time and energy on improving the designs.

The Virtuoso Spectre RF circuit simulator, which is integrated within the Virtuoso custom design platform, helped RFIC verify RF circuits using a RF analysis suite. The Virtuoso layout editor and the Assura verification suite enabled RFIC Solutions to achieve DRC-correct layout.

Sanjay Moghe, CEO of RFIC Solutions, said: The use of the Cadence Virtuoso platform has allowed RFIC Solutions’ engineers to focus on precision crafting the designs rather than doing repetitive manual work, which has resulted in a 2X productivity boost, as well as successful completion of two tapeouts within the first month of adopting the technology. Timely support and guidance provided by Cadence during the initial learning period also helped us to achieve these successes.
