RFIC design flow

Hi,

I am new to RFIC design, coming from an ASIC design background

Can someone shed light as to what is the common RFIC design flow
and possibly shareware tools if applicable

Regards
 

Re: RFIC design flow

Hi, attached are materials I copyed from a professor's lecture.
Normally RF IC is just simple analog circuit. The difficulty in RF IC design is the parasitic effect in IC.
 

Re: RFIC design flow

Hi,

It seems a good diagram, however it seems a bit too high level for me

for example i like to see where simulations are done and what type of
extractions are applicable,

Al in all a good diagram but more detail would be nice if possible and
also a possible tool list especially if a free or shareware tool exist

Thanks
 

Re: RFIC design flow

Hi, I am also a freshman in IC Design.
Normally there are simulations in circuit design(prelayout simulation)and layout design(post-layout simulation, here are the parasitic extraction).
The most popular tools are Cadence spectreRF, Mentor Graphics EldoRF, or ADS.
You can refer to the openbook provided with Cadence, because there are many examples in circuit design and simulation.
