AXSEM, a fabless manufacturer of ISM RFIC, has selected Berkeley Design Automation’s Analog FastSPICE (AFS) Platform for RF-CMOS wireless transceiver design and verification.

"We benchmarked the AFS Platform for our mixed-signal/RF products against various other tools," said Monika Brogle, chief technology officer at AXSEM.

 

Brogle said that switching to the AFS Platform enables the company to verify its circuits much more thoroughly, enhance design productivity, and create complex products without re-spins.

“We are committed to delivering RFIC with best in class performance. Berkeley Design Automation is the right tool set to achieve this goal," said Brogle.

Berkeley Design officials claimed that Analog FastSPICE is the industry’s only unified circuit verification platform for analog, mixed-signal, and RF design. Always delivering true SPICE accurate results, it provides 5x-20x higher performance than traditional SPICE, >10 million-element capacity, and the industry’s only comprehensive noise analysis.

Officials said that the AFS Platform is a single executable that uses advanced algorithms and numerical analysis to rapidly solve the full-circuit matrix and original device equations without any shortcuts.

"We are delighted that AXSEM has selected Analog FastSPICE for their wireless transceiver verification," said Ravi Subramanian, president and CEO of Berkeley Design Automation.

Subramanian said that AXSEM’s ultra-low cost, low-power, and high-performance semiconductor solutions for wireless peripherals involve significant RF-CMOS technology challenges.
