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.
