Explore Keysight EDA Software Suites
Start Your Next Design with Keysight EDA Tools
The Keysight suite of EDA tools seamlessly integrates device modeling, circuit design, EM simulation, layout capabilities, and system-level modeling. Keysight’s open solutions approach for workflow enablement ensures that our EDA software interoperates with other EDA software from our ecosystem partners. Combine process design kits (PDKs) with our circuit simulators to increase your confidence in achieving design success.
EDA Software in Your Design Workflow
Circuit Design and Simulation
EDA software for circuit design and simulation accelerates product development by reducing the time engineers spend in the design and simulation phases. Its libraries and customized simulators reduce setup time. The software seamlessly integrates circuit design, EM simulation, layout capabilities, and system-level modeling, reducing time spent importing and exporting designs and fixing errors associated with changing tools. Improvements in data analytics enable faster analysis and design decisions.
Physical Design and Simulation
EDA tools for EM simulation enable designers to accurately model large portions of the system and the entire system. Additionally, integrating 3D EM modeling with traditional circuit simulation is one method to radically simplify your design flow. Keysight ADS offers a parameterized 3D component design kit that enables designers to quickly draw, codesign, and optimize 3D components with other schematic components.
System Design and Simulation
EDA software for RF system design combines multi-domain modeling with simulation for complex RF systems in one collaborative design environment. Going beyond math-based modeling with a complete design workflow optimized for RF, Keysight System Design brings decades of industry leadership in RF measurement science into your modeling environment.
Device Modeling and Characterization
EDA tools enable the characterization and modeling of cutting-edge CMOS and compound semiconductor devices. Keysight is the only vendor that provides end-to-end modeling solutions from automated measurements, device model extraction, and qualification to final PDK validation. Comprehensive modeling services are available with support from Keysight experts and advanced labs.
Data and IP Management
Empower local or multi-site design teams to collaborate efficiently on all types of complex hardware designs — analog, digital, RF, and mixed-signal. Elevate design reuse and manage the process of IP creation and publication for internal and third-party IP with multiple levels of built-in security and customizable workflows. Define, manage, and execute a simulation or test process and manage the big data produced by these processes.
Simulate Five Times Faster by Moving Simulation to the Cloud
The latest innovations in cloud technology have advanced to the world of electronic design and simulation. Design workspaces can be gigabytes in size, but the simulation files you need may only be 10’s of megabytes. You don’t need to utilize the entire workspace file to simulate.
With cloud simulation, the software only sends the files that it needs in order to run the simulation. Using high-performance computing and cloud simulation, design teams are cutting their simulation times by over 80%.

“In choosing design tools, we needed to consider the whole flow, from the schematic to the 3D simulations. Our engineers need to be familiar with the tools, and that is one of the reasons why we chose Keysight’s PathWave ADS as the core tool.”

Foundry Process Design Kits
Integrated circuit (IC) foundries offer semiconductor processes that use PDKs containing active and passive device simulation models for IC design. Keysight EDA tools work closely with foundries to offer high-frequency PDKs in Si, SiGe, GaAs, InP, and GaN processes.
When choosing a foundry PDK, you must be sure that the models meet foundry manufacturing requirements. Foundries validate and distribute all PDKs provided for Keysight simulators, guaranteeing that the models behave optimally for first-pass design success.
