After seeing interest on this topic, I thought it might be helpful to
address this from Ansoft's point. HFSS outputs S parameters in Touchstone
format which can be used directly in certain time and frequency domain
circuit simulators. Please speak with Cadence to discuss whether your
version of Spectre will support S parameters in Touchstone format.
Because many of our HFSS users are linking EM solutions directly into
circuit and system simulation programs to optimize performance, this topic
is the primary focus of Ansoft's 2005 application workshop, Converge. At
the Converge Application Workshop in San Jose, CA, Dr. Albert Yen from UMC
is one of the guest speakers and will present New Era for RFCMOS. This
presentation specifically focuses on adding EM fidelity to circuit and
system design using HFSS and Nexxim operating within the best in class
design flow, Cadence ADE. Dr. Yen will highlight UMC's design flow that
enables these new high performance CMOS circuits, illustrates new methods
(dynamic link) to smoothly pass data from EM solvers to circuit simulators,
and presents measured vs. simulated data to validate this solution.
For engineers in San Jose, the event is Oct 27th. The event will also
feature presentations from esteemed University professors and other notables
in the field of high performance design. One of the keynote presentations
will be delivered by Professor Paul Huray, who heads the Signal Integrity
Education and Research at the University of South Carolina. This engineering
program is one of the nation's first signal integrity graduate programs. The
event will also include presentations on a new signal integrity design flow
being used at Intel, a joint presentation from Xilinx and Ansoft on SSO
analysis, PCI express and FBDimm for gigabit serial channel design, 60Ghz
CMOS radio circuits, Advanced LNA and VCO design, PLL design for WIMAX
radio, UWB circuit design, RFID and much more. For more information, please
go to http://www.ansoft.com/converge.
I am quite certain this event will be useful for all SI engineers and hence
I invite you all to attend the local show in San Jose and/or the event to be
held in Boston, Los Angeles, along with other cities in the North America
and Europe.
Mike Kang,
Ansoft Applications Engineer
