Analog design houses with a significant group of designers typically experience a shortage of circuit simulator licenses during critical phases of the design cycle. The Company Worldwide Unlimited License eliminates this bottleneck and opens the pathway to large increases in productivity.
SmartSpice delivers the highest performance and accuracy required to design complex high precision analog circuits, analog mixed-signal circuits, analyze critical nets, and characterize cell libraries. SmartSpice is compatible with popular analog design flows and foundry-supplied device models.
The Verilog-A language, compiled or interpreted, when combined with SmartSpice provides circuit designers and model developers with an easy-to-use, comprehensive environment for the design and verification of complex analog and mixed-signal circuits and models.
"Richtek's circuit design productivity increased after we purchased Simucad's worldwide unlimited site license," said KC Chang, VP of Technology Development, Richtek. "We are now able to run unlimited copies of the highly accurate and fast SmartSpice simulator for a very reasonable price."
"I'm very happy that Richtek has joined the growing family of companies that are adopting our worldwide unlimited licenses," said Dr. Ivan Pesic, President and CEO of Simucad. "I am confident that this will make Richtek an even stronger company."
