AI-Powered RF Design Migration Flow Speeds Transition to Advanced Process Technology
Case Studies
Synopsys, TSMC, and Keysight collaborated to deliver an AI-powered RF design migration flow that expedites migration from TSMC’s N6RF+ process to N4P technology. The flow integrates Synopsys design solutions, TSMC’s Analog Design Migration methodology, and Keysight RFPro for device parameterization, automated value fitting, and electromagnetic simulation. Together, the workflow helps RF circuit designers reuse existing component intellectual property and streamline migration to advanced process rules.
The AI-powered RF design migration flow combines Keysight RFPro, Synopsys Custom Compiler with ASO.ai, Synopsys PrimeSim, and TSMC’s Analog Design Migration methodology. The integrated workflow is designed to streamline RF redesign from TSMC N6RF+ to N4P technology.
Synopsys Custom Compiler and ASO.ai support rapid analog and RF migration by identifying optimal design parameters to meet performance metrics. Synopsys PrimeSim provides circuit simulation within the design flow.
Keysight RFPro contributes device parameterization, automated value fitting, and electromagnetic simulation. RFPro enables RF and microwave circuit designers to run 3D electromagnetic-circuit co-simulation for tuning and optimization within familiar design environments.
The workflow helps designers streamline redesign of passive devices and components to more advanced RF process rules. It also supports reuse of existing N6RF+ component intellectual property as teams move to N4P technology.
By reducing time-consuming handoffs and enabling designers to work within an integrated flow, the collaboration supports engineering productivity for complex RF chip designs. The result is a more connected path from existing design assets to advanced process implementation.
