IC Plus Selects Berkeley Design Automation Analog FastSPICE™ Platform for Mixed-Signal Circuit Verification
SANTA CLARA, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Berkeley Design Automation, Inc., provider of the world's fastest
nanometer circuit verification, today announced that IC Plus
Corporation, a communication and networking IC design company has
selected the Analog FastSPICE Platform for full-circuit verification of
their mixed-signal integrated circuits.
"Our stringent verification flow requires full-circuit verification of
our mixed-signal designs with nanometer SPICE accuracy," said Albert
Liu, VP of R&D at IC Plus Corporation. "The Analog FastSPICE Platform
has the accuracy, performance, and capacity to handle our full-circuit
verification requirements. The AFS Platform provides nanometer SPICE
accuracy significantly faster than alternative offerings for our
mixed-signal integrated circuits."
The Analog FastSPICE Platform provides the world's fastest circuit
verification for nanometer analog, RF, mixed-signal, memory, and custom
digital circuits. Foundry certified to 20nm, the AFS Platform delivers
nanometer SPICE accuracy 5x-10x faster than traditional SPICE and 2x-6x
faster than parallel SPICE simulators. For large circuits the AFS
Platform delivers >10M-element capacity and the fastest mixed-signal
simulation. For memory and other array-basedcircuits, AFS Mega™
delivers silicon-accurate simulation with >100M element capacity. For
silicon-accurate characterization it includes the industry's only
comprehensive full-spectrum device noise analysis and a
high-productivity Analog Characterization Environment (ACE™)-both of
which deliver 5x-10x speedup over alternative approaches. Available
licenses for the AFS Platform include AFS Circuit Simulator, AFS Mega,
AFS Nano, AFS Transient Noise Analysis, AFS RF Analyses, AFS
Co-Simulation, AFS AMS, and ACE.
"We are excited that IC Plus selected the Analog FastSPICE Platform for
full-circuit verification of their communication and networking ICs,"
said Ravi Subramanian, President and CEO of Berkeley Design Automation.
"Delivering cost-effective high-performance low-power mixed-signal
circuits poses a significant design challenge. IC Plus' selection
further validates that Berkeley Design Automation is an essential
partner to companies designing the next-generation of networking
semiconductors."
