Who is GSA
Mission & Vision GSA's mission is to accelerate the growth and increase the return on
invested capital of the global semiconductor industry by fostering a more effective fabless ecosystem through collaboration, integration and innovation.
To fulfill this mission, GSA will: Address the challenges and enable industry-wide solutions within the
supply chain, including intellectual property (IP), electronic design automation (EDA)/design, wafer manufacturing, test and packaging.
Provide a platform for meaningful global collaboration Identify and articulate market opportunities Encourage and support entrepreneurship Provide members with comprehensive and unique market intelligence Members include companies throughout the supply chain representing
25 countries across the globe.
The MS/RF Subcommittee
Charter: To create a mixed-signal/RF ecosystem Chairman: Marco Racanelli, Jazz Semiconductor Participants: MS/RF Design (EDA, IP, Design Services), Fabless, IDMs,

The MS/RF Model Working Group
Charta The MS/RF Model Working Group is developing mixed-signal and RF
requirements for characterization vehicle, SPICE modeling, design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and package modeling.
Deliverables The Mixed-Signal/RF SPICE Model Checklist – A document
completed by the SPICE model developer and delivered with each new release of a SPICE model. This document helps developers better understand the source data, completeness and quality of the model before using it to design ICs or to re-extract it to fit into specific product needs. A Checklist Users Guide and Checklist Taxonomy & Definitions are also available.

Summary
GSA generates momentum for the fabless
ecosystem
The GSA MS/RF Subcommittee works on MS/RF
topics
The GSA MS/RF Model Working Group focuses
on the standardization of modeling
The Model Checklist is a perfect instrument to
compare the modeling of processes
