SYNOPSYS, ANSYS AND KEYSIGHT ANNOUNCE NEW MMWAVE REFERENCE FLOW
The 79-GHz mmWave RF design flow for TSMC 16FFC accelerates the development of radio-frequency ICs used in autonomous systems.
To accelerate the development of advanced radio frequency (RF) and millimeter wave (mmWave) designs with high reliability, Synopsys, Inc., Ansys and Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced the availability of the new 79GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) radio frequency (RF) design reference flow for the TSMC 16nm FinFET Compact Technology (16FFC).
The mmWave design reference flow enables the implementation of reliable, 79-GHz transceiver integrated circuits (ICs) for advanced autonomous systems that require independent operation without human intervention such as automotive radar, 5G connectivity, security applications and environmental monitors. The reference flow provides companies with the highest levels of performance, security, and reliability for mmWave RF systems on TSMC’s leading process technologies.
Open, Modern Design Flow Accelerates Autonomous Systems
The new mmWave design reference flow improves the autonomous system’s sensitivity and reliability using a 79-GHz transmitter power amplifier design with efficient power conversion and a receiver low-noise amplifier design with low-noise figure. The reference flow integrates the following solution into a comprehensive design flow:
- The Synopsys Custom Design Family featuring the Synopsys Custom Compiler™ design environment to address design challenges including silicon aging and reliability, worst-case corner analysis and efficient and reliable layout generation.
- Multiphysics signoff analysis using Ansys VeloceRF™ RF Device Synthesis, Ansys RaptorX™ Electromagnetic Modeling Family, Ansys Exalto™ EM-aware Parasitic Extraction Signoff and Ansys Totem™ Power Integrity and Reliability Signoff tools.
- Electromagnetic analysis and circuit simulation using Keysight Pathwave RFPro and RFIC Design (GoldenGate) tools.
