Automation Tools for Accelerating
the Design Cycle
Design verification of today’s RFICs can be
tedious and time-consuming. GoldenGate
accelerates this task with a number of powerful
tools that allow designers to set up and run
distributed simulations. These tools enable the
quick analysis and display of massive amounts
of data, and can be used within Virtuoso,
operated separately or integrated with other
third-party products.
GoldenGate offers a variety of post-processing
solutions and functionality beyond support of
the Cadence ADE plotting capabilities. The
Performance Editor and ADS Data Display
include large repositories of built-in expressions.
Data Display’s flexibility allows designers to
create advanced plots (e.g., load-pull contours,
gain circles or eye diagrams) or even write their
own functions.

Job Manager allows designers to launch and
monitor multiple ADE states at one time.

Use the Performance Editor’s built-in functions to calculate
important figures-of-merit.
