Analog, Mixed-Signal and /RF (AMS/RF) design teams use the AFS Platform for block design and characterization through full-circuit verification. AFS Platform users realize a 2x or more overall improvement in efficiency versus traditional simulation tools that trade off accuracy, performance, capacity, and functionality.

Block Design and Characterization includes rapid design iterations and complete characterization of circuit building blocks. For RF blocks it includes the only true SPICE accurate periodic analyses. In this application, the AFS Platform delivers:
  • Fastest transient analysis iterations (5x-10x)
  • Fastest periodic analysis iterations (5x-10x, >100K element capacity)
  • Detailed Device Noise Analysis (DNA)
  • Rigorous PVT corner and variation analyses
Complex-Block Verification includes computationally intensive verification tasks from pre- and post-layout simulation to variation, noise, and RF analysis on circuits such as PLLs, DLLs, ADCs, SerDes, Tx chains, Rx chains, and memory interfaces. In this application, the AFS Platform delivers:
  • Fastest true SPICE accurate transient results (5x-20x)
  • Parasitic performance impact analysis (detailed RLCK)
  • Device noise performance impact analysis (including ADCs & PLLs)
  • Accelerated digital logic (co-simulation)
Full-Circuit Verification targets top-level analog/RF circuits reaching >10M total elements. Verification tasks include DC operating point analysis, and true SPICE accurate performance simulations including package models and transmission lines and digital logic co-simulation. In this application, the AFS Platform delivers:
  • >10M element DC operating point analysis
  • Targeted performance simulation
  • Inter-block validation (electrical rule checking)
  • Silicon-package verification
  • Top-level digital logic co-simulation
Here are a few examples of nanometer AMS/RF Verification with the AFS Platform
