BANGALORE, INDIA: Magma Design Automation Inc. announced the availability of a new version of the FineSim Pro full-chip circuit-level simulation product that delivers 3X faster runtime than previous versions while continuing to deliver SPICE-accurate results.
As an example, FineSim Pro was able to simulate a large post-layout design containing more than 75K MOS devices and more than 2.9 million parasitic resistors and capacitors in a little over an hour. With this latest version, chip designers can better address the growing complexity of verification and increasing number of simulations required for today’s analog/mixed-signal designs.
“The amount of simulations required to adequately verify today’s complex, advanced-process-node designs has placed a premium on overall simulation runtime performance,” said Anirudh Devgan, general manager of Magma’s Design Implementation Business Unit. “Leveraging an improved architecture, better numerical solvers and a single-CPU-optimized simulation algorithm, FineSim Pro delivers 3 times better performance than previous versions.”
FineSim Pro multi-CPU support
FineSim Pro is the industry's first fast SPICE circuit simulator that supports multi-CPU simulations. It is the only simulator that performs true multi-CPU SPICE analysis. This allows for the most accurate results with the best possible throughput.
FineSim Pro verifies a range of designs from large memories to large complex analog ICs, which previously could not be practically verified in transient circuit simulators. FineSim Pro also has a separate option for IR drop and electromigration analysis.
