Ranpu Microelectronics

Ranpu Microelectronics, known as IC Prophet, is a company focused on integrating artificial intelligence into the field of integrated circuit design to enhance design efficiency and performance. The company develops industry-specific AI models and algorithms to automate and intelligentize the chip design process. Their flagship product is RFIC-GPT, an AI-powered Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool developed in-house. This tool is designed for radio frequency (RF) chip design and can generate GDSII layouts or schematics for RF components and circuits based on specified electrical parameters in seconds, with an accuracy of up to 95%. The primary benefit of RFIC-GPT is its ability to help RF designers quickly identify optimal design points and significantly shorten iteration cycles.

The company offers two versions of its main product: RFIC-GPT Online, a basic version for individual design engineers, and RFIC-GPT Pro, an offline professional version for design companies and teams. The Pro version includes advanced features such as support for various RF component structures, optimization for ground plane effects, automatic capacitor generation, and implementation of layout functions like Dummy fill and Guard-ring. IC Prophet's platform allows users to input their design specifications and receive the generated GDSII or schematics, which can then be used in standard design platforms like Cadence Virtuoso and Keysight ADS. After launching a tool for passive components in May 2023, the company released a generative design tool for active RF circuits, such as common-source power amplifiers, in November 2023.
