All our RF designers are satisfied from its accuracy and user-friendliness and don’t need to use other complicated tools. We cannot imagine RF-LSI design without VeloceRF!” Nobuyuki Itoh Senior Manager, Wireless LSI Design Group 2, TOSHIBA Corporation “The [+21 dBm] PA met specifications on first pass silicon” Bob Koupal VP of Engineering, RFMicrodevices, Inc. “Our new approach with Helic enables deeper and direct communication with customers on RF design issues in designer's language, other than just a COT library support. Grounding, substrate noise, magnetic coupling are just a few among those critical effects that vary the true performance of RF circuits. Dynamic PDK support reflected in shorter design-time is the key for success.” Dr. Yuu Watanabe Deputy General Manager, Technology Development Division, Electronic Devices Business Group, Fujitsu Limited. “We knew from the start of this project that success depended on executing beyond the state of the art in mixed signal IC design. The engineering collaboration with Helic was instrumental in our first-pass design success. ClariPhy has pioneered the migration to an all-digital 10-Gbit/s PHY, and Helic's tool allowed us to implement our advanced product architecture with confidence.” Dr. Paul Voois CEO, ClariPhy Communications, Inc. VeloceRF™ brings the most advanced inductor synthesis capabilities, significantly enhancing our RFIC design flow Stefanos Sidiropoulos Vice President of Physical Layer Products at NetLogic Microsystems VeloceRF is a critical tool for simulating inductors and high speed wires in our LC VCO and clocknet designs. We’ve been really happy with Helic's customer service. Alexandre Mitaenko Manager at Freescale Semiconductor VeloceRF is a critical tool for simulating inductors and high speed wires in our LC VCO and clocknet designs. We’ve been really happy with Helic's customer service. Takatsugu Kamata VP, Engineering at RfStream The advanced inductor synthesis capabilities and accurancy of VeloceRF perfectly matched our requirements. Moreover, the Pcell flexibility as well as the fast and accurate modeling of coupling parasitics enable us to reduce the size of our layouts and come up with compact, optimized floor plans.

Testimonials With VeloceWired® we managed to design an optimum input-matching network for our LNA block. The results lead to successful mass production of a silicon LNB with the first parts shipping to customers in April 2011. Dr. Kunihiko Iizuka Design Manager at Electronic Components and Devices Group at SHARP Bondwires are a popular and low-cost assembly option for a wide range of IC packages. In high-speed IC design, bondwires introduce parasitics such as inductance and magnetic coupling which may affect product performance significantly. To meet demanding requirements, IC designers now have the ability to draw, model and optimize bondwires as parts of their circuits. Package design and IC design, two traditionally isolated processes, have now become seamlessly integrated in an automated design flow. VeloceWired has been adopted by leading semiconductor companies such as Sharp, helping them achieve unprecedented RF performance while maintaining the low cost benefits of silicon integration.
