Cadence WiCkeD v9.00.001

Imagine you're training for a marathon. You could try to improve your performance by running every day and adjusting your diet based on how you feel. But what if you had a personal AI coach?

This coach:

  • Tracks your performance across different weather conditions (like PVT corners).
  • Suggests personalized training plans (like parameter tuning).
  • Simulates how you’d perform under extreme conditions (like Monte Carlo and high sigma analysis).
  • Helps you avoid injuries by identifying weak spots in your routine (like sensitivity analysis).

That’s exactly what WiCkeD does for circuit design. It’s your intelligent coach, ensuring your design is not only fast and efficient but also resilient under all conditions. 

Why Circuit Optimization Needs a Smarter Tool?

In the ever-evolving world of semiconductor design, achieving optimal performance, power efficiency, and yield across varying process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) conditions is a formidable challenge. Traditional manual tuning methods are time-consuming and often fall short when scaling to complex analog, RF, or mixed-signal designs.

Enter WiCkeD—an AI/ML-powered circuit optimization suite that integrates seamlessly with Cadence Virtuoso Studio and ADE Explorer. WiCkeD is not just a tool; it's a paradigm shift in how engineers approach design centering, yield optimization, and robustness analysis.

WiCkeD is a comprehensive optimization platform that automates the tuning of circuit parameters such as transistor width, length, number of fins, resistance, and capacitance. It supports both pre-layout and post-layout optimization, ensuring performance consistency across all design stages.
