IC Plus Selects Berkeley Design Automation Analog FastSPICE™ Platform for Mixed-Signal Circuit Verification

Platform Delivers Nanometer SPICE Accuracy Significantly Faster than Traditional SPICE

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — March 11, 2014 — 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-based circuits, 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.”
