"Alvand's high-performance, ultra-low-power analog and mixed-signal IP requires stringent and efficient characterization," said Mansour Keramat, president and CEO at Alvand Technologies, "AFS Nano provides us superior price/performance for block-level design and verification. It consistently delivers true SPICE accurate results up to 10x faster than traditional SPICE on our ADC, DAC, and analog front-end designs."
Analog FastSPICE is the industry’s only unified circuit verification platform for analog, mixed-signal, and RF design. Always delivering true SPICE accurate results, it provides 5x-10x higher performance than traditional SPICE, >1 million-element capacity, and the industry’s only comprehensive 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. AFS Platform tools include: AFS Nano SPICE simulator, Analog FastSPICE circuit simulator, Noise Analysis Option™ device noise analyzer, and RF FastSPICE™ multi-tone periodic analyzer.
"We are excited that Alvand Technologies has selected AFS Nano for characterization of their high-performance analog and mixed-signal IP," said Ravi Subramanian, president and CEO of Berkeley Design Automation. "Delivering high-speed, ultra-low-power data converters and analog front end solutions is a tremendous challenge. Alvand Technologies' selection of AFS Nano further validates the strong competitive advantage the Analog FastSPICE Platform provides to leading-edge analog/mixed-signal IP designers."
