TUMA5: Co-design of Acoustic Filter and Silicon IC for Improved System Level Performance

Abstract
In Cadence's Virtuoso Studio RF (VSRF) platform it is now possible to fully co-design acoustic filters and Silicon ICs through our Virtuoso Design Link and Virtuoso PDK capabilities. This microapp will demonstrate the co-design workflow and how it enables optimization of the filter, the IC, and the matching network concurrently to drive optimum system level performance over traditional design flows where each component is optimized individually. As part of this flow, we will leverage new machine learning enhanced optimization algorithms that excel under high variable and goal counts.
