With silicon RFIC interoperability, ADS 2015 Advanced Design System software enables users to edit and simulate schematic designs created in Virtuoso or ADS. Users also can open Virtuoso IC layout cell view in ADS, instantiate cell within package or module, and then run electromagnetic simulation on design to validate overall system performance. Other features include GoldenGate integration, DDR Bus Simulator, and RFIC cockpit that expands ADS schematic control block use model.
