Parasitic reduction tool from Agilent to enhance RFIC simulation speed

Agilent Technologies has announced Jivaro-for-GoldenGate, a parasitic model order-reduction tool designed for use with the company's GoldenGate RF simulator software. Jivaro-for-GoldenGate is expected to enhance RFIC simulation speed and capacity with negligible loss in accuracy.

Jivaro-for-GoldenGate is designed in cooperation with edXact, a company that provides high-precision, high-performance technology for backend physical verification. edXact's Jivaro-A netlist-reduction engine is the core of this new RFIC design software.

"Jivaro-for-GoldenGate fills the gap between circuit extraction and circuit simulation created by an increased number of parasitic components (resistance,capacitance, self and mutual inductance) required to model the physical reality of circuit interconnects, substrates or packages," said Mathias Silvant, edXact president.
