AATech deepens relationship with Silvaco with unlimited Gateway and SmartSpice licenses

SANTA CLARA, USA & HSINCHU, TAIWAN: Advanced Analog Technology Inc. (AAT), a leading analog/mixed-signal design house based in Taiwan, has decided to deepen its relationship with Silvaco, a leading supplier of EDA software, with its continued adoption of Silvaco's Company Worldwide Unlimited License for Gateway, SmartSpice, and Verilog-A.

"Silvaco's unlimited license is a key factor in reducing our design cycle and increasing our design productivity," said Eric Huang, VP of AAT. "Silvaco's responsiveness on technical issues exceeds our expectations. We are happy to have Silvaco as a key EDA partner."

"I'm pleased with AAT's continued adoption of our worldwide unlimited licenses and that they are satisfied with our service," said Dr. Ivan Pesic, President and CEO of Silvaco. "The Company Worldwide Unlimited license can help AAT to grow rapidly and we are happy to contribute to their growth."

Silvaco's Company Worldwide Unlimited License is unique and provides the solution to the problem of limited license availability. It was created in response to the increasing demand for EDA tools.

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.

Gateway schematic editor provides an intuitive front end environment for capturing designs and performing simulations in both analog, mixed signal and digital domains.

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.

The integrated environment of Gateway, SmartSpice and Verilog-A in Silvaco's PDK driven design flow provides high productivity at an affordable price.
