All our major customers are interested inĬooley: You're doing RFIC EM extraction and you bought AWR for millimeterĪnd microwave RF design. The integration of this kind of simulation at the system level With all the customers, get initial deployments, get widerĭeployments, and keep improving the tool just like in any otherīut we are confident about the technology. You know we launched it about a yearĪgo, I think last April, and we have a lot of customers. You wrote an article comparing it vs other tools. You just kickīack and drink mai tais and have a party?Īnirudh: Well, we are pretty happy with how Clarity is doing. So, are you done? I mean, yay, congratulations. You had 6 users doing benchmarks and they were saying Clarity was 3-15x faster than Ansys HFSS. Virtual DAC'20 Troublemakers Panel Cooley: Anirudh, last year you bragged about Clarity doing a frontalĪssault against Ansys HFSS. Subject: Anirudh on his Clarity/AWR/EMX end run around ANSS/SNPS in 3D IC

Over the last few years, EMX has become a key tool in the design flow of a number of prominent IC design houses and foundries. Other competing simulation tools based on finite-element methods and boundary element methods simply cannot handle the size of problems that EMX can routinely solve. EMX can simulate blocks with 10s of ports and up to a million mesh elements.


EMX allows you to analyze large RF blocks as a whole instead of splitting the problem into smaller problems. In modern RF IC design, coupling between components and interconnect is a major source of design problems and silicon re-spins. It is used by our for a variety of tasks, from designing simple structures like spiral inductors to extracting large IC layouts including inductors, capacitors, resistors and interconnect.

This interface is supported by Integrand and is documented in the EMX_Calibre_tutorial manual from Integrand. Integrand provides a methodology for integrating Calibre ® and EMX extraction results into a single post-layout netlist for simulation. Integrand’s EMX ® tool is embedded within the Cadence Virtuoso ® environment.
