Magma Design Automation Inc. (San Jose, CA) announced that Advanced Micro Devices (AMD; Sunnyvale, CA) selected Magma’s FineSim SPICE as AMD’s circuit simulator of choice for critical analog information processing.
AMD made the decision after a detailed evaluation in which FineSim SPICE delivered better accuracy and faster runtime than AMD’s existing circuit simulation product — with simulation time up to 15 times faster. FineSim SPICE is a SPICE-level simulation analysis tool that incorporates transistor-level simulation analysis capabilities for analog, digital, and mixed-signal designs.
FineSim SPICE contains a full SPICE simulation engine with distributed processing that enables customers to simulate large-scale mixed-signal system chips at the transistor level. By providing increased speed and capacity while maintaining full SPICE accuracy, FineSim SPICE enables designers to simulate advanced circuits — such as PLLs, ADCs (analog-to-digital converters), DACs (digital-to-analog converters), and gigahertz SERDES (SERializer/DESerializer) — that they previously would not even attempt using slower traditional SPICE simulators.
