Xpedion Design Systems, the leading provider in next generation RFIC simulation,announced the latest version of its GoldenGate™ simulator, version 4.0. This new release features capabilities such as running Monte Carlo analysis on parallel machines, dramatic simulation time reduction, remarkable memory efficiency, improved workflow and 64-bit support.

GoldenGate 4.0''s improvements are a result of Xpedion''s focus to solve the problems faced by RFIC designers. The challenges faced by RF companies in this highly competitive consumer wireless marketplace are staggering. These challenges are twofold: how to meet tight specifications and how to get into high volume production. These challenges are magnified by the trend into lower geometry RF CMOS and SiGe technologies that cause traditional design tools and methodologies to break down. GoldenGate 4.0 addresses this break down.

"RFIC Designers need solutions for a new breed of design issues" said Pete Rodriguez, Chief Executive Officer at Xpedion. "The leading RFIC companies use GoldenGate because we work with them to solve their problems in reaching high yield production."
