Circuit Simulation

Block-Level Simulation

Cadence^® custom simulation technology delivers all the tools required for designing and verifying your analog/mixed-signal blocks. Cadence chip-level simulation solutions provide the large capacity and high performance required to ensure that a full chip is working as intended, regardless of how the blocks perform in aggregate. Cadence mixed-signal simulation solutions blend output results from industry-leading block-level and full-chip analog simulators with output from advanced digital analysis technologies. This superior approach to analysis also includes an extensive multi-language capability to support design abstraction and the ability to add in RF information. With our Spectre^® platform, you have tools with a common infrastructure, advanced simulation database, versatile front-end parser, and a robust device library.

Chip-Level Simulation

Leveraging custom design abstraction capabilities, Cadence chip-level simulation looks at all the blocks abstracted into a variety of languages combined with transistor-level blocks that converge on a whole design understanding. Cadence chip-level simulation solutions provide the large capacity and high performance required to ensure that a full chip is working as intended, regardless of how the blocks perform in aggregate.

Mixed-Signal Simulation

Today’s system-on-chip (SoC) designs integrate complex analog and digital blocks, requiring thorough testing and analysis of how analog and digital circuits interact and the influence they have on each other. Cadence mixed-signal simulation solutions blend output results from industry-leading block-level and full-chip analog simulators with output from advanced digital analysis technologies. This superior approach to analysis also includes an extensive multi-language capability to support design abstraction and the ability to add in RF information.

With our Spectre platform, you have tools with a common infrastructure, advanced simulation database, versatile front-end parser, and a robust device library. Through integration with our Virtuoso^®, Allegro^®, and Innovus^® solutions, the Spectre tools deliver comprehensive design and verification.
