About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Cadence AI-Powered Virtuoso Studio Supports RF and mmWave Design Reference Flows for TSMC N16RF, N6RF and N4PRF

By: via Business Wire

Highlights:

  • Cadence’s comprehensive, optimized RF flow now includes the new, AI-powered Virtuoso Studio to support TSMC’s N16 mmWave, N6RF and N4PRF design reference flows
  • Joint customers are actively designing with TSMC PDKs
  • Cadence and TSMC’s latest collaboration accelerates innovation in mobile, 5G, and WiFi-7 wireless applications

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced it has collaborated with TSMC to integrate the new Cadence® Virtuoso® Studio into the TSMC N16 mmWave design reference flow and N6RF design reference flow, and added support for the N4PRF design reference flow. With this latest development in Cadence’s and TSMC’s long history of collaboration, joint customers now have access to complete RF design reference flows on the N16, N6, and N4PRF processes for developing optimized, highly reliable, next-generation RFIC designs for use in radar, 5G and WiFi-7 wireless applications for the mobile, automotive, healthcare and aerospace markets. Mutual customers are already using the design reference flows and corresponding TSMC process design kits (PDKs) for RFIC design projects.

The Cadence RFIC solution supports TSMC’s advanced processes and features automation capabilities to help customers spend less time developing and integrating critical RF functionality into their designs. The solution supports all aspects of RF design, including passive device modeling, assisted layout automation, and electromagnetics (EM) simulations.

The flows are supported by the latest version of the Cadence Virtuoso Schematic Editor and can deliver unmatched productivity benefits. Additionally, the flows enable a seamless integration between the Cadence EMX® Planar 3D Solver and Quantus™ Smart View tools for full-circuit extraction without parasitic double counting. The flows are newly enhanced to use purpose mapping for intelligent device scaling when migrating schematics between technology nodes. Purpose mapping allows designers to capture the purpose of devices so that they may be scaled correctly upon process migration, according to their function in the circuit. Furthermore, a new advanced results reviewer provides valuable insight into design sensitivities such as managing corner simulations, and achieving design centering and circuit optimization. The flows also include the Cadence Virtuoso ADE Suite and the integrated Spectre® X Simulator and RF Option.

“Throughout our long-standing and productive collaboration with Cadence, the goal has always been to facilitate customer productivity and innovation by providing design flows that simplify and accelerate the development of advanced ICs,” said Dan Kochpatcharin, head of the Design Infrastructure Management Division at TSMC. “By integrating Cadence technologies into our leading-edge RF design flows, customers will be able to meet industry demand for next-generation RFICs that provide low-power, high-performance connectivity to mobile, 5G and WiFi-7 applications.”

“TSMC and Cadence customers are under tremendous pressure to rapidly develop RFIC designs in support of booming demand for 5G and other types of wireless connectivity,” said Tom Beckley, senior vice president and general manager in the Custom IC & PCB Group at Cadence. “Working closely with TSMC, we have updated our RF reference flows to leverage the unparalleled power of our latest release, Virtuoso Studio. We continuously listen to our mutual customers to understand their real-world design requirements, and their feedback has enabled us to tailor our flows so they can deliver leading-edge designs in a timely manner.”

The Cadence RFIC solutions support the Cadence Intelligent System Design™ strategy, enabling system-on-chip (SoC) design excellence. To learn more about Cadence RFIC solutions, visit www.cadence.com/go/UpdatedRFICFlow.
