Agilent Technologies Accelerates STMicroelectronics' 32-Nanometer RF Readiness with Validation of GoldenGate
SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 5, 2009 -- Agilent Technologies (NYSE: A) today announced validation
of its GoldenGate RFIC simulation, analysis and verification tool to accelerate RF readiness for
STMicroelectronics' 32 nm RF CMOS technology. The qualification of GoldenGate for STMicroelectronics' 32 nm RF
technology is the result of a long-term collaboration between the two companies that includes 65 nm and other
market-critical processes.
"Our successful track record with GoldenGate allowed us to start optimizing 32 nm RF IP designs early in our
technology development cycle with a comprehensive AMS/RF Physical Design Kit and CAD solution," said Vincent Varo,
CMOS and derivative process design kit manager, Technology R&D, STMicroelectronics. "These designs include best-in
class RF devices (RF MOS, MOM, inductors and varactors) offered with suitably qualified SPICE models, simulation
environment, layout PCells and physical verification (DRC/LVS-PEX) tool-suite. With time-to-market such a critical
component in recouping the investment in leading-edge technologies, having a head start on complex RF blocks is
invaluable."
"Having the right tools is often not enough to be competitive these days," said Thierry
Locquette, Global EDA account manager with Agilent's EEsof EDA division. "You also need the confidence to deploy
them during the early phases of the technology development cycle. This kind of confidence comes from having past
successes and is a byproduct of making the investment to build relationships like the one we have established with
STMicroelectronics."
Agilent's GoldenGate software is an advanced simulation and analysis solution for integrated mixed-signal
RFIC designs. Its unique simulation algorithms are optimized for the challenging demands of today's complex RFICs,
and its capacity enables full characterization of complete transceivers, including parasitics, prior to tape-out.
GoldenGate also includes a suite of automation tools developed with the RFIC designer in mind. This suite helps
designers easily launch simulations, quickly analyze circuit performances and diagnose problematic issues with
mixed-signal RFICs earlier in the design cycle.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
