Abstract
RP SiP is an integration and implementation fabric based on a single package substrate that allows the integration of digital ICs, logic IC, and RF ICs plus passive components, SAW filters, and mechanical parts. But RF SiP technology is constrained by the fact that, today, SiP design is an "expert engineering" process-one that is not scalable as a general design solution. To facilitate a move to mainstream SiP implementation, an integrated, scalable SiP design solution with reference flows must be provided. The new solution will involve a change in design methodology for SiP products, but also addresses the need for an improved design chain collaboration. The paper will describe the various implementations steps focusing on the underlying methodology to address the challenges around RF SiP design and how to ensure a proper hand-over between the design domains within a company or to an external supplier.
