Cadence® Virtuoso® Spectre® Circuit Simulator provides fast, accurate SPICE-level simulation for tough analog, radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal circuits. It is tightly integrated with the Virtuoso custom design platform and provides detailed transistor-level analysis in multiple domains. Its superior architecture allows for low memory consumption and high-capacity analysis.
Features/Benefits
Provides high-performance, high-capacity SPICE-level analog and RF simulation with out-of-the-box tuning for accuracy and convergence
Facilitates the tradeoff between accuracy and performance through user-friendly simulation setup applicable to the most complex analog and custom-digital ICs
Enables accurate and efficient post-layout simulation with RLCK parasitics, S-Parameter models (n-port), and lossy coupled transmission lines (mtline)
Performs application-specific analysis of RF performance parameters (spectral response, gain compression, inter-modulation distortion, impedance matching, stability, isolation)
Includes advanced statistical analysis (Smart, MonteCarlo, DCmatch) to help design companies improve the manufacturability and yield of ICs at advanced process nodes without sacrificing time to market
Delivers fast interactive simulation set-up, cross-probing, visualization, and post-processing of simulation results through tight integration with Virtuoso Analog Design Environment
Ensures higher design quality using silicon-accurate, foundry-certified device models shared within Virtuoso Multi-Mode Simulation
