ESS Technology Standardizes on Simucad's SmartSpice Analog Circuit Simulator
Simucad Design Automation (Simucad), a provider of Analog, Mixed-Signal and RF Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, announced that ESS Technology (ESST), a global manufacturer of digital video silicon chips, has standardized on SmartSpice for its analog simulation needs.
The powerful multithreaded technology built into SmartSpice delivers the fastest simulation of large and complex multi-million transistor circuits with true SPICE accuracy.
"After an extensive evaluation period, SmartSpice was found to exceed our expectations in speed, convergence and accuracy, and outperformed our current simulation solutions," Robert Plachno, VP of Engineering of ESST said. "Adoption of multithreaded SmartSpice allows ESST engineers to significantly shorten design time and introduce products to market faster and cheaper."
"Our innovative and cost-effective unlimited licensing model is how EDA software should be licensed," said Dr. Ivan Pesic, President and CEO of Simucad. "Years of research have made SmartSpice the fastest and most accurate Analog simulator on the market. Companies can now standardize on a single simulator and replace the myriad of traditional and lookup-table based simulators currently in use."
