Cadence Introduces the Spectre X Simulator, a Massively Parallel Circuit Simulator Delivering Up to 10X Faster Simulation with the Same Golden AccuracyCadence Design Systems (News - Alert), Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced the Cadence® Spectre® X Simulator, a massively parallel circuit simulator designed to provide up to 10X performance gains, while maintaining the golden accuracy customers have come to expect from 25 years of Spectre industry leadership in analog, mixed-signal and RF applications. The new Spectre X simulator can solve 5X larger designs when compared to previous simulation solutions, enabling customers to effectively simulate circuits containing millions of transistors and billions of parasitics in a post-layout verification flow.

Endorsements
"Analog accuracy is of paramount importance for our high-precision
circuits, regardless of size and complexity. We have simulated our
advanced-node 5G designs with the Spectre X simulator and it shows up to
7X run-time improvement, even when factoring in large amounts of
parasitics in post-layout verification. This verification process will
result in improved yields and enhanced reliability for MediaTek's (News - Alert)
customers and consumers."
"As a world-leading supplier of computer networking products using
InfiniBand and Ethernet technology, it is critical that we accurately
simulate advanced node designs fast to meet our aggressive
time-to-market schedule. Through our use of Spectre X simulator, we have
experienced up to 10x performance gain compared to our existing solution
while maintaining accuracy that Spectre simulators are known for."
"Analog verification is increasingly critical for our advanced designs
targeted for the automotive, industrial and broad-based industries.
We've participated in the early adoption program for the Spectre X
Simulator using several designs, and have seen up to 10X performance
gains with Spice-level accuracy. We look forward to using the Spectre X
Simulator for our production designs that require performance and
capacity improvements."
"Post-layout verification is critical for our analog designs. Our
designs require a simulator with SPICE-like accuracy, high performance
and very large capacity so we can simulate them with thousands of
parasitics. We evaluated several different vendors but chose the Spectre
X simulator because we routinely saw a 5X improvement in overall
simulation performance, saving us days of simulation time during our PLL
testing." About Cadence Cadence enables electronic systems and semiconductor companies to create the innovative end products that are transforming the way people live, work and play.
