Miller MMIC, a company that specializes in the design and manufacture of RF semiconductors by leveraging advanced InP, GaN, and GaAs technologies, has introduced RapidRF - an innovative radio frequency monolithic microwave integrated circuit (RF MMIC) design platform that is poised to revolutionize the future of RF MMIC design industry. The RapidRF is an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven solution that allows manufacturers to automate their design of radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) for the next-generation of wireless communication and accelerate innovation for a smarter future in terms of speed of manufacturing, cost, and productivity.
The Challenge
The Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) is the most important communication interface for the digital world. Yet, its development is still based on a manual process. The industrial standard for designing RFICs is currently facing the following challenges during the RFIC design:
- Time Intensive Development: It takes several months to design a single RFIC component, leading to high costs.
- Experience Driven Design: RFIC design requires highly experienced engineers. Many experts will retire in the next few years, and not enough graduate engineers will follow.
- Talent Shortage: Given the expected market growth, up to 60% of new positions are at risk of going unfilled due to the existing and growing talent shortage.
How Does Miller MMIC’s RapidRF Solution Overcome the Above Challenges?
With RapidRF, customers will be able to leverage the use of AI tools that help efficiently automate the design process of RF MMICs that is otherwise not possible using traditional manual process. The key benefits offered by RapidRF include:
- Speed: The overall speed is cut down up to 90% of the development time for RFIC/MMIC design, leading to a faster time-to-market.
- Cost Reduction: Up to 50% reduced cost in development can be expected with RapidRF technology.
- Increased Productivity: Overcoming talent shortage by increased productivity.
- Technology Independence: The design automation is independent of the used semiconductor process and target application.
