Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced that it has joined the Intel Foundry Services (IFS) Accelerator Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Alliance program. As part of joining the IFS EDA Alliance, Keysight will expand its support for the process design kit (PDK) and reference design flow creation for Intel's upcoming advanced technology nodes. Keysight will also integrate its EDA simulation software portfolio into the latest node reference design flow to deliver accurate circuit, thermal, and electromagnetic (EM) analyses required for the development of complex radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs).

The purpose of the EDA Alliance Program is to accelerate customer designs on Intel foundry processes and increase customer confidence in the use of EDA tool vendors' products that target chip manufacturing by Intel. Keysight joins a growing ecosystem of IFS EDA Alliance members, which includes some of Keysight's own strategic EDA partners. Keysight has long provided RFIC design enablement and PDK support for several leading foundries.
