Cadence RF SiP Methodology Kit
The Cadence® RF SiP Methodology Kit accelerates the application of advanced EDA technologies to system-in-package (SiP) designs for Radio Frequency (RF)/wireless applications. It provides methodologies that maximize design productivity and predictability for customers leveraging the advantages of SiP implementation. An integrated set of SiP design products built around proven methodologies—demonstrated on a segment representative design—enables complete front-to-back SiP design and implementation.
By combining comprehensive links between system design, physical implementation and manufacturing, the kit allows full-SiP electrical analysis and characterization of critical paths as well as behavioral modeling from overall system-level simulation through bottom-up verification.
Key benefits
 | Combines system design, physical implementation and manufacturing in a complete, true IC/package co-design solution | | Provides a seamless flow starting at full-SiP electrical simulation, through a single schematic-driven layout implementation and ends with comprehensive signal integrity checks | | Achieves functional, performance, and closed-loop verification across multiple technologies and design domains including system-level, digital, mixed-signal, and analog/RF | | Improves simulation accuracy and completeness by effectively combining signal integrity analysis at SiP and parasitic extraction at IC-level | | Optimizes on and off chip configurations by managing inductor synthesis and passive component modeling |
