Virtuoso RFIC EMX Quantus Flow
The Cadence EMX Planar 3D Solver is an electromagnetic simulator for high-frequency, RF, and mixed-signal integrated circuits. It allows designers to accurately and efficiently simulate large RF circuit blocks, characterize the behavior of passive components, and analyze the parasitics due to interconnect. The EMX Planar 3D Solver offers complete automation coupled with high speed and accuracy. The EMX Planar 3D Solver is integrated with the Cadence Virtuoso custom IC design platform and Cadence Spectre models.
The Cadence Quantus Extraction Solution is the industry’s most trusted sign-off parasitic extraction tool and is a leader in 3nm design adoptions and tapeouts. As a unified tool, the Quantus solution supports both cell-level and transistor-level extractions during design implementation and signoff. It is an integral component of the in-design methodology with the Virtuoso Studio. Quantus Extraction Solution lets you perform post-layout parasitic extraction of resistive, capacitive, and inductive effects in designed devices and wiring interconnects of digital, analog, and RF designs.
Using the Virtuoso RF Solution in the Virtuoso RFIC EMX Quantus flow, an RFIC designer can take advantage of several different EM simulation techniques to meet her requirements. Quantus solution supports several output formats, such as SPICE, transistor-level DSPF, or Quantus Smart View. Smart View is the enhanced version of extracted view output showing significant improvements with respect to runtime, memory usage, and netlist size. To combine EM extraction of RF critical parts with Quantus parasitic extraction, use the Electromagnetic Solver Assistant in Layout EXL as the cockpit for defining your EM model.
