Cadence Virtuoso Interface
Sonnet Suite’s plug-in for the Cadence Virtuoso suite enables the RFIC designer to configure and run the em analysis from a layout cell, extract accurate electrical models, and create a schematic symbol for Analog Design Environment simulation with Spectre, HSPICE and Golden Gate by Keysight. A Broadband Spice extraction module is also available that provides high-order Spice models suitable for Spice simulation.
Please see below for more details on the Cadence Virtuoso Interface.
