Berkeley Design Automation, Inc. is the
recognized leader in advanced analog, mixed-signal, and RF (AMS/RF)
verification. Our Analog FastSPICE
unified
circuit verification platform combines the accuracy, performance,
and capacity needed to verify GHz designs in nanometer-scale silicon.
Design teams from top-10 semiconductor companies and leading startups
use the AFS Platform to efficiently verify their AMS/RF circuits.
AMS/RF circuitry is both the
biggest
differentiator and the most difficult design challenge in
today’s ICs.
Running at GHz frequencies and implemented in nanometer-scale CMOS
silicon processes, these circuits introduce a new class of verification
problems that SPICE, RF, and digital fastSPICE simulators simply cannot
adequately address.
Analog FastSPICE is the industry’s
only unified circuit verification platform for analog, mixed-signal,
and RF design. Always delivering true SPICE accuracy, it
provides 5x-20x higher performance than traditional SPICE, >10
million-element capacity, and the industry’s only comprehensive
device noise analysis capability. The AFS Platform is a single
executable that uses
advanced algorithms and numerical analysis to rapidly solve the
full-circuit matrix and original device equations without any
shortcuts. The AFS Platform tools include: the AFS Nano SPICE
simulator, the Analog
FastSPICE circuit simulator, the Noise
Analysis Option device noise analyzer, and the RF FastSPICE multi-tone
periodic
analyzer.
Founded in 2003, the company has received several industry awards in
recognition of its technology leadership and impact on the electronics
industry. The company is privately held and backed by Woodside Fund,
Bessemer Venture Partners, Panasonic Corp., and NTT Corp.
