To address design verification challenges of complex mixed-signal systems-on-chip (SoCs), Siemens Digital Industries Software introduces the Symphony Pro platform. This next generation solution extends the mixed-signal verification capabilities of Siemens’ Symphony platform to support new and advanced Accellera standardized verification methodologies with a comprehensive and intuitive visual debug cockpit.   

Siemens’s new Symphony Pro platform—built on the performance of Siemens’ Symphony and Questa Visualizer platforms—extends the deployment of universal verification methodology (UVM) and unified power format (UPF) driven low-power techniques into the mixed signal domain by offering simulation performance in a unified environment for throughput and capacity.

Modern mixed-signal SoCs integrate analog circuits with logic gates operating at high clock speeds. This high frequency bidirectional signal flow at the boundary of analog and digital pushes the limit of manual debug methodologies impacting the overall time to results. Symphony Pro Visualizer MS environment offers a debug experience across the entire mixed-signal design hierarchy with analysis, automation and ease of use. 

“Our customers are rapidly advancing the state-of-the-art in mixed-signal SoC design across a wide range of applications, and in the process, they are driving the requirements for new innovations in the EDA tools required to design, verify and validate these chips,” says Ravi Subramanian, senior vice president of IC Verification at Siemens Digital Industries Software. “We are excited to deliver Symphony Pro, which combines our proven AFS, Questa and Visualizer technologies, to our customers, enabling the potential for them to realize key competitive advantages with a unified mixed-signal verification solution.“
