Accelerating Heterogeneous Integration with Virtuoso Studio

Enabling design, development, and implementation of 5G handset, radiohead, fronthaul/backhaul, and baseband and edge computing technologies with proven IP and design tools.

Edit-in-Concert technology lets you edit simultaneously across fabrics and view the changes immediately at the system level within the environment. It enables RFIC, photonic IC (PIC), and system-in-package (SiP) module designers to edit the layout design in the context of all ICs on the module or other fabrics (chip, module, board). This ensures that connectivity between fabrics is always correct, manufacturable, and accurate. Cadence’s Allegro interoperability allows the import of building blocks into a system design, as well as finishing and tapeout of package designs using industry-standard tools and flows.

With the entire system’s layout and schematic represented in the Virtuoso environment, you can simulate “golden” system schematics. Full designs can be extracted, and layout effects back-annotated to allow system-level validation. The inclusion of RF and photonics cross-fabric flows is crucial for today’s complex systems.
