AWR's Analog Office RFIC Design Suite Chosen by Ashvattha Semiconductor

Software's unified environment enables innovative system/circuit RF design and analysis

El Segundo, CA -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (AWR) today announced a corporate agreement with Ashvattha Semiconductor for the company to purchase AWR's Analog Office design suite. Ashvattha will utilize the Analog Office software for the design of its RFICs, which integrate multiple standards on a single chip.

Ashvattha Semiconductor is a provider of highly integrated RF chips for wireless device manufacturers. Using its patented technology, Ashvattha has successfully integrated multiple RF front-ends on a single chip, thus cost-effectively enabling the creation of multimode, multifunction devices.

"Using Analog Office design software, we are able to analyze our advanced RF front-end circuits in greater detail than ever before, and in the same environment, we are able to see the system ramifications of a circuit-level change," said Kartik Sridharan, VP of engineering at Ashvattha. "This is extremely powerful in RF system design. Analog Office's set of integrated simulation technologies, comprehensive suite of RF measurements, accurate simulation models, and available RF-CMOS foundry process design kit enables us to achieve our design objectives in the shortest time. We are looking forward to deploying the Analog Office design platform more widely in our RF system design flow."

"Ashvattha Semiconductor's single focus on creating highly integrated single-chip, multiband, multimode RF solutions aligns well with AWR's drive to create a superior and cost-effective solution to help design next generation RF chips and systems," said James Spoto, AWR's president and CEO. "We are proud to be Ashvattha's next-generation RF design solution provider and to help them deliver innovative products, improve design productivity, and reduce costs."
