Spectre Accelerated Parallel Simulator

The Cadence^® Spectre^® Accelerated Parallel Simulator provides scalable performance and capacity—at full Spectre Circuit Simulator accuracy—for complex analog, RF, and mixed-signal blocks and subsystems with tens of thousands of devices.  

The Spectre Accelerated Parallel Simulator performs advanced SPICE-accurate simulation with faster convergence, scalable performance, and higher capacity. It is tightly integrated with the Cadence Virtuoso^® custom IC design platform, allowing engineers to capture and pass design intent into the simulation environment, and it provides all the transistor-level analysis capabilities of the Spectre Circuit Simulator.

The proprietary full-matrix solving technology in the Spectre Accelerated Parallel Simulator delivers unparalleled scalability and multi-threading capability using modern multi-core compute platforms. These features and more ensure precise simulation without sacrificing accuracy of results.

Automotive TCL1 Certified for ISO 26262

The industry’s first analog/mixed-signal design implementation and verification flow to achieve “Fit for Purpose - Tool Confidence Level 1 (TCL1)” certification enables you to meet stringent ISO 26262 automotive safety requirements. The analog/mixed-signal design implementation and verification flow brings transistor-level designs from creation and simulation through physical implementation and verification using the Virtuoso ADE Product Suite and the Spectre Circuit Simulation Platform.
