“TSMC provides the foundry industry's largest portfolio of process-proven library, IP, design tools and reference flows,” said ST Juang, Senior Director of TSMC’s Design Infrastructure Marketing Division. “We selected Analog FastSPICE for our design teams because it delivered SPICE accurate results five to ten times faster than traditional SPICE on our analog/mixed-signal IP and building blocks across our major process technologies down to 45nm.”
Berkeley Design Automation tools include Analog FastSPICE™ circuit simulation, Noise Analysis Option™ device noise analyzer, RF FastSPICE™ periodic analyzer, and PLL Noise Analyzer™. The company guarantees identical waveforms to the leading "golden" SPICE simulators down to noise floor (typically 0.1% or less) while delivering 5x-10x higher performance and 5x-10x higher capacity. By using advanced algorithms and numerical analysis techniques to rapidly solve the full-circuit matrix and the original device equations without any accuracy compromising shortcuts. Design teams from top-10 semiconductor companies and leading startups use Berkeley Design Automation tools to solve big analog/RF verification problems.
"We are delighted that TSMC selected Analog FastSPICE for their analog and mixed-signal design environment," said Ravi Subramanian, president and CEO of Berkeley Design Automation. "We see TSMC’s adoption of our products for their design teams as a testimonial to our Precision Circuit Analysis technology. We are proud to help TSMC's Design Service Division accelerate their analog/mixed-signal design verification."
