Santa Clara, California-based Berkeley Design Automation and Altos Design Automation, recently declared that the Berkeley Analog FastSPICE Platform will be incorporated into the Liberate product from Altos in an endeavor to speed up complicated I/O cell classification with nanometer SPICE precision, such as impacts of noise and design parasitics.
The cells used in nano-scale procedures operate at GHz speeds, display tight performance parameters, and need to adhere to low jitter needs. The incorporation of the FastSPICE into Altos Liberate meets this requirement and offers I/O rapid cell characterization.
Ravi Subramanian, president and chief executive officer of Berkeley Design says high-speed interfaces turn invasive in nano designs, making precise and complicated I/O cell classification crucial for IC designers. The alliance with Altos will offer customers benefits including nano SPICE results, enhanced performance, and study of physical properties.
The FastSPICE is a unified verification platform for nano analog, RF, mixed-signal, and digital circuits. It uses advanced algorithms and numerical study to solve the device issues and an accurate circuit matrix. It incorporates licenses for AFS Nano simulation, circuit simulation, Transient Noise Analysis, AFS RF Analysis, and AFS Co-Simulation.
