Technology Leaders & Innovators Selects
Berkeley Design Automation
Analog FastSPICE™ Platform
AFS Delivers Nanometer
SPICE Accuracy 5x-10x Faster for Complex Mixed-Signal ICs
SANTA CLARA,
CA, — June 22, 2010— Berkeley Design Automation, Inc.,
provider of the Analog FastSPICE™ unified circuit verification
platform (AFS Platform), today announced that Technology Leaders &
Innovators (TLi), a leading fabless developer of display semiconductor
products, has selected the AFS Platform for full-circuit verification
and device noise analysis of its complex mixed-signal ICs for display
applications.
"Our timing controllers and LCD drivers require full-circuit
verification at the transistor-level and device noise analysis with
nanometer SPICE accuracy," said Dr. Soonwon Hong, Vice President of
TLi. "We selected the AFS Platform because it delivers identical
results as traditional SPICE 5x-10x faster without tuning and it
provides nanometer SPICE accurate transient noise analysis of our
complex mixed-signal designs."
The Analog FastSPICE Platform is the industry’s only unified
circuit verification platform for analog, mixed-signal, and RF design.
It always delivers nanometer SPICE accurate results, while providing
5x-20x higher performance than traditional SPICE, >10
million-element capacity, and the industry’s only comprehensive
device noise analysis. 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. It includes licenses for AFS Nano SPICE simulation, AFS
circuit simulation, AFS Co-Simulation, AFS Transient Noise Analysis,
and AFS RF Analysis.
"We are honored that TLi, a leading developer of display semiconductor
products, has selected the Analog FastSPICE Platform for design
verification and device noise analysis of their complex mixed-signal
designs," said Ravi Subramanian, president and CEO of Berkeley Design
Automation. "TLi's selection of the AFS Platform further demonstrates
the unique technology capabilities that Berkeley Design Automation
brings to leading semiconductor design companies.”
