This technical FAQ examines three modeling gaps identified in engineering literature and outlines algorithmic methods to address them.
Just before fabrication, the design flow of all integrated circuits (ICs) culminates in transistor-based, top-level simulations. Unfortunately, verifying functionality, connectivity, and performance ...
Cadence is claiming up to 3x transient simulation performance for its latest transistor-level circuit simulator, compared with its previous offering. Called Spectre FX Simulator, it is the next ...
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2006--Magma(R) Design Automation Inc. (Nasdaq:LAVA), a provider of semiconductor design software, today announced the availability of FineSim(R) Pro, the ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A simulation of electrical current moving through a futuristic electronic transistor has been modeled atom-by-atom in less than 15 minutes by Purdue University researchers. The ...
Almost every chip being taped out today is mixed-signal in nature. In addition to increased integration of analog and RF blocks, designers are using complex power-management techniques to minimize ...
With gate counts and system complexity growing exponentially, new submicron technologies pose many challenges in both the design and verification domains. Nowadays, many high-performance ...
Technologies that had become specialist tools are moving back into mainstream usage; shift left is not just about doing things earlier in the flow. A few decades ago, all designers did ...
