Optimizing RFICs from RF to mm-Wave
By leveraging the powerful ADS model library,
GoldenGate accurately models the effects of
integrating microwave components with silicon
RFICs within the Cadence Virtuoso environment.
Its transient and envelope-transient engines
handle very large S-parameter blocks, beyond the
frequency-domain, using multi-threaded convolution
techniques.
Figure 10.
GoldenGate provides access from within Virtuoso to over
150 passive and distributed elements.
Tight links to the ADS common Open Access
database allow designers to include IC content
within the complete module design inside ADS or to
perform more complete package characterization.

Perform end-to-end EM verification within the
ADS platform and leverage unique capabilities
like the ADS QFN Designer.
RF to mm-Wave Design Overview
– Accurately model the effects of microwave
components and parasitic elements on silicon
or SiGe chips
– Momentum in Virtuoso enables silicon-
accurate 3D planar EM simulation at
nanometer scales
– Over 150 ADS models:
– Lines, bends, tees, and more
– Bond wires with coupling
– Other passive elements
– Tight links into ADS provide easy access to
go beyond the IC
– ADS Data Display provides extensive plotting
options
– Robust convolution engine ensures accurate
results when using frequency-dependent
components in a transient engine
Integrated with the Momentum 3D Planar EM Simulator
Popular 3D planar EM simulator:
– Advanced NlogN and multi-threading solver
algorithms for optimal speed, accuracy and
capacity
– Arbitrary polygonal meshing with reduction
– Thick metal analysis of sidewall currents and
efficient via modeling account for skin and
proximity effects
Silicon-accurate nanometer
RFIC process support:
– Automated layout pre-processing like via array
merging
– Dummy metal fill and process scaling support
– Boolean layer operation for native MIM
capacitor support
Cadence Virtuoso integration:
– Seamlessly integrated into Cadence Virtuoso
versions 5 and 6
– Broad PDK support for Momentum stack-up
files and layout simplification routines
