Silvaco at DAC: A/MS Simulation, Full-Chip Parasitic Extraction, RF Simulation, Library Characterization and Single Event Effect Reliability

Silvaco International announced that its activities at the 41st Design Automation Conference will include product demonstrations on analog/mixed-signal Verilog/SPICE simulation, PDK-enabled schematic-driven layout, full-chip parasitic extraction, library characterization and Single Event Effects (SEE) mitigation using TCAD, circuit simulation and fault simulation.

Silvaco will participate on the Accellera-sponsored "OpenKit Initiative Breakfast Panel" on Monday, June 7th at 7:30AM with Ken Brock, Silvaco's Vice President of marketing and Chairman of the FSA MS/RF Foundry Committee PDK working group.

Live demonstrations of Silvaco's software products will include:

•  Harmony-AMS Analog/Mixed-Signal Simulation Platform delivers accuracy and productivity. Harmony-AMS is based on the Silos Verilog and SmartSpice Circuit simulators integrated into a single-kernel simulator that fully supports Verilog-AMS, Verilog, Verilog-A, and SPICE.

•  SmartSpice-RF Harmonic Balance-Based Simulator provides a complete set of steady-state analyses to design GHz range RF wireless application ICs.

•  QUEST High Frequency Parasitic Extractor accurately characterizes RF inductors, capacitors, resistors and transmission lines.

•  HIPEX Full-Chip Parasitic Extraction products perform 3D-accurate and 2D-fast extraction of parasitic capacitors and resistors from hierarchical layouts into transistor-level netlists.

•  Schematic Driven Layout Design Flows with Gateway Schematic Editor driving the SmartSpice Circuit Simulator, Expert Layout Editor, Guardian DRC/LVS/LPE, and HIPEX parasitic extraction tools supported by Silvaco's process design kits.

•  Library Characterization with SmartCell and SmartCore Characterization Tools generate the accurate timing and power models required by leading synthesis, HDL simulation, routing, and analysis tools.

•  Single Event Effects Mitigation Solution with ATLAS 2/3D-SEE Module and the SmartSpice-SEE Module integrated with the HIPEX Full-Chip Parasitic Extraction tools and HyperFault Mixed-Level Fault Simulator to provide a complete design flow to identify, analyze, and mitigate SEEs in mixed-signal IC designs.
