VIRTUOSO SPECTRE CIRCUIT SIMULATOR
The Virtuoso Spectre Circuit Simulator provides fast, accurate SPICE-level simulation for tough analog and mixed-signal circuits. A part of Virtuoso Multi-Mode Simulation, it is tightly integrated with the Virtuoso platform and provides detailed transistor-level analysis in multiple domains. Its superior architecture also allows for low memory consumption and high-capacity analysis.
The RF analysis in Virtuoso Spectre Circuit Simulator XL (formerly Virtuoso Spectre RF Simulation Option) complements the SPICE-level analog simulation capabilities of the Virtuoso Spectre Circuit Simulator L with world-class RF simulation and analysis technologies. It includes the only RF simulator that addresses the needs of the entire RF design spectrum—it offers a frequency-domain harmonic balance engine for faster and accurate simulation of high dynamic-range weakly non-linear RF circuits, and it uses a patented time domain shooting algorithm optimized for highly non-linear circuits.
