Fully Characterize Transceivers Before Tapeout

Nexus revamps circuit simulation and optimization technology for efficient and accurate design of the most challenging RF-microwave-mmWave circuits, RFICs, and RF 3D Heterogeneous Integrated (3DHI) modules for 5G/6G, wireless, radar, and aerospace-defense applications.

  • Model components on silicon chips accurately.
  • Optimize designs with sweeps and load-pull analysis.
  • Simulate RF designs in Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS), Cadence Virtuoso, and Synopsys Custom Compiler environments.
  • Increase performance using Monte Carlo and yield analysis.
  • Assess error vector magnitude (EVM) for the latest communication standards early in the design phase.
  • Use the latest foundry technology immediately.
Workflow-Based User Interface (UI)

Workflow-Based User Interface (UI)

Nexus UI organizes simulation and optimization control as workflows instead of disjointed tasks to closely capture the designer’s thought process in producing a design.

The Nexus UI and workflows work identically in the industry’s most trusted EDA platforms: Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS), Cadence Virtuoso, and Synopsys Custom Compiler.

Multi-Domain RF Circuit Simulation Technologies

The Nexus multiple circuit simulation algorithms operate across multiple domains (frequency, time, envelope, linear, nonlinear, stability, electrothermal, system and measurement) for thorough characterization to satisfy multi-spec design requirements.

Multi-domain simulations can be customized (e.g., multi-dimensional sweeps), sequenced and saved as workflows to ensure all required performance specs are consistently analyzed thoroughly.

Multi-Performance Parallel Optimization Algorithms

Multi-Performance Parallel Optimization Algorithms

Optimize RFIC designed in Virtuoso or Custom Compiler together with off-chip 3DHI packaging and integration inside Keysight ADS. Unlike traditional circuit optimizers, advanced Nexus optimization algorithms operate on challenging designs with large-scale variable counts, such as RFICs and 3DHI transceiver modules.

External Python-based optimization algorithms can also be used in Nexus to supplement the already powerful native optimizers.

AI-Ready with Python Automation

The Nexus Python application programming interface (API) enables programmatic control of simulation and optimization to automate workflows and to interact with external AI and Machine Learning (ML) frameworks to exploit the power of AI assisted designs. 

Python automation makes Nexus AI-ready to leverage machine learning models such as artificial neural networks (ANN) and large language models (LLM), and enables integration with external AI algorithms and frameworks, such as copilots and AI agents, to realize unprecedented productivity.
