Just before fabrication, the design flow of all integrated circuits (ICs) culminates in transistor-based, top-level simulations. Unfortunately, verifying functionality, connectivity, and performance ...
Almost every chip being taped out today is mixed-signal in nature. In addition to increased integration of analog and RF blocks, designers are using complex power-management techniques to minimize ...
Technologies that had become specialist tools are moving back into mainstream usage; shift left is not just about doing things earlier in the flow. A few decades ago, all designers did ...
Three years ago, I wrote a blog entitled “Linking Virtual Wafer Fabrication Modeling with Device-level TCAD Simulation,” in which I described the seamless connection between the SEMulator3D virtual ...
Nascentric’s OmegaSim GX is touted as the world’s first hardware-accelerated Spice simulator. OmegaSim GX harnesses the raw computational power of NVIDIA Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to provide ...
