Technologies Selects Berkeley Design Automation
Analog FastSPICE™ Platform
AFS Delivers 5x-10x
Faster Results with Nanometer SPICE Accuracy
for Image Sensor ICs
SANTA CLARA,
CA, — July 27, 2010— Berkeley Design Automation, Inc.,
provider of the Analog FastSPICE™ unified circuit verification
platform (AFS Platform), today announced that SiliconFile Technologies
Inc., a leading fabless provider of CMOS image sensors, has selected
the AFS Platform for complex-block verification of its image sensor ICs
for mobile imaging applications.
"We spend a significant amount of effort on block-level verification of
our CMOS image sensors," said Do Yeong Lee, Chief Technology Officer at
SiliconFile. "After extensive evaluation, we selected the Analog
FastSPICE Platform for complex-block verification of our image sensors
because it delivered nanometer SPICE accurate results 5x-10x faster
than traditional SPICE simulators."
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 very pleased that SiliconFile Technologies, a leading developer
of CMOS image sensor ICs for mobile, videoconferencing, and
surveillance applications, has selected the Analog FastSPICE Platform,"
said Ravi Subramanian, president and CEO of Berkeley Design Automation.
"SiliconFile's selection validates, once again, that Berkeley Design
Automation is an essential partner to leading edge companies in the
mobile imaging revolution.”
