Spectre Circuit Simulator

The Cadence^® Spectre^® Circuit Simulator provides fast, accurate SPICE-level simulation for analog, radio frequency (RF), and mixed-signal circuits. It is tightly integrated with the Cadence 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

• 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 the Virtuoso Analog Design Environment
• Ensures higher design quality using silicon-accurate, foundry-certified device models shared within Virtuoso Multi-Mode Simulation
