Xinhe Semiconductor releases new RF EDA/filter design platform

TechWeb] June 22 news, Xinhe Semiconductor released the latest RF EDA/filter design platform at the 2022 IMS International Microwave Week event.IMS2022 was held in Denver, Colorado, USA from June 19th to 24th. This is also the ninth consecutive year that Xinhe Semiconductor has participated in this grand event in the radio frequency and microwave industry.

The RF EDA/filter design platform released by Xinhe Semiconductor includes two parts: EDA tools and filter design, covering the entire RF design process from RF chips, packaging, modules to board levels, and also includes IPD, Hybrid Filter technology and EDA tools customized for filter design, details are as follows:

*EDA – RF chip

IRIS supports on-chip passive modeling and simulation of RFIC designs.With accelerated 3D EM solvers, advanced process support and seamless integration with Virtuoso, IRIS enables RFIC designers to achieve a first-time design-in-silicon experience.

iModeler has built-in templates for various RF and high-speed passive components.Using a high-precision accelerated EM solver combined with a neural network training algorithm, iModeler can quickly establish a parametric model of the PDK layout and equivalent circuit based on a specific process to fully meet your design needs.

iVerifier compares the EM results of each PDK parameterized model, the neural network training model results and the SPICE results of the equivalent circuit, and provides a comparison report, allowing you to understand the accuracy of each indicator of the model at a glance.

*EDA – RF System

XDS provides a full range of RF system solutions, from chips to packaging to PCB.It supports EM extraction of the entire full-link and cross-scale models. It has built-in cascade algorithms and spice simulators. It has field-circuit co-simulation functions and various high-order analyses, allowing you to design from the system level directly based on system indicators. Iterate to take control of the entire design.XDS also has built-in various RF devices and behavioral-level models, including management of third-party device libraries, making you more comfortable in RF system design.

*EDA-filter

XDS has built-in RF filter solutions and provides customized services for filter design.It provides a complete filter design process from schematic to layout to post-layout co-simulation.It supports multiple filter types including IPD, SAW and BAW.Built-in fast schematic creation of filter topology, built-in specification library-level automatic layout generation, adjustment and optimization functions make filter design easier.

*Filter-IPD Technology

Xinhe Semiconductor provides one-stop IPD solutions for RF front-end module and system customers in the mobile communications and Internet of Things industries.

Xinhe Semiconductor's IPD design is based on substrates such as HRSi or Glass, and has been rigorously verified by the foundry's IP library, including filters, power dividers, couplers, baluns, multiplexers, matching networks, resistor-capacitor networks, High-density silicon capacitors and many other RF passive components.

With the development of 5G, SiP modularization has become a common choice in the industry.Xinhe IPD is based on wafer technology and has the advantages of small size, low height, low cost, high consistency, high yield, stable performance, customizability and easy integration. It has been widely adopted in frequency bands such as N77 and N79.

Xinhe Semiconductor's IPD technology is very suitable for developing high-frequency and broadband filters, which is an area where mechanical wave devices such as SAW/BAW are currently difficult to apply.According to application requirements, Xinhe Semiconductor's customized IPD devices can further improve the overall performance and integration, and rely on mature and reliable semiconductor processing technology to ensure the stable and high-quality delivery of IPD products. Global shipments have exceeded 1 billion.

*Filter-Hybrid Technology

Xinhe Semiconductor's unique Hybrid technology, by combining IPD and FBAR technology, can combine the different advantages of electromagnetic and mechanical wave devices to achieve high-frequency, high-bandwidth, and high-power filters.Combining the high Q value of FBAR and the flexibility and diversity of IPD, various passive functions can be coordinated in Hybrid technology to achieve high-performance, highly integrated 5G NR and other radio frequency front-ends.
