Berkeley Design Automation, Inc. is the
recognized leader in advanced analog, mixed-signal, and RF (AMS/RF)
verification. Our Analog FastSPICE
Platform (AFS Platform) combines the
accuracy, performance,
and capacity needed to verify GHz designs in nanometer-scale silicon.
Over seventy companies, including 15 of the world's top 20
semiconductor companies, 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 traditional SPICE, RF, and digital fastSPICE simulators
simply cannot
adequately address.
The AFS Platform is
the
industry’s only unified circuit verification platform for analog,
mixed-signal, and RF design. It always delivers results with true SPICE
accuracy, while providing 5x-20x faster performance than traditional
SPICE, over 10 million-element capacity, and the industry’s only
comprehensive device noise analysis. 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 taking shortcuts that compromise accuracy.
Founded in 2003, Berkeley Design Automation 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.
