Cloud native EDA tools & pre-optimized hardware platforms
CoreHW, a fabless semiconductor company established in 2013 and based in Finland, has achieved an 80GHz millimeter wave PLL (MMW PLL) with superior phase noise performance. Developed with the 草榴社区 RFIC design flow on the GlobalFoundries (GF) 22FDX? process technology, the MMW PLL IP is ideal for applications including autonomous driving, 5G/6G communication, IoT networks, aerospace, and defense systems.
CoreHW faced several significant challenges in developing their cutting-edge MMW PLL:
High-Quality Signal Generation: Ensuring frequency purity was essential to maintain accurate radar detection and communication.
Time-to-Market Pressures: The need to meet aggressive market timelines while maintaining high-quality, repeatable results.
Complex Design Requirements: Managing the iterative and manual processes involved in RF and mmWave IC design.
To tackle these challenges, CoreHW implemented the 草榴社区 RFIC design flow on GlobalFoundries 22FDX process technology. This comprehensive solution includes:
The 草榴社区 RFIC design flow provided CoreHW with a certified process design kit (PDK) for the GF 22FDX process technology. This enabled a more efficient and predictive design process, significantly reducing the time-to-market while maintaining high-quality outcomes.
By implementing the 草榴社区 RFIC design flow, CoreHW achieved:
With the 草榴社区 RFIC design flow, CoreHW successfully developed a high-performance 80GHz mmWave PLL, positioning themselves at the forefront of advanced RFIC design and innovation.
