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.
