Berkeley Design Automation’s Precision Circuit Analysis™ technology enables big analog/RF verification that would be otherwise impractical or impossible.

  • Traditional SPICE tools are too slow for complex blocks and cannot even converge on full circuits
  • Digital fastSPICE tools are too inaccurate for performance simulation, let alone post-layout simulation, corner analysis, noise analysis, etc.
Only Berkeley Design Automation tools combine golden SPICE accuracy with 5x-10x performance and 5x-10x capacity to deliver thorough complex-block characterization and full-circuit performance simulation.

Complex-Block Characterization

Complex-Block Characterization 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. Here are a few examples:

Full-Circuit Performance Simulation

Full-Circuit Performance Simulation targets top-level analog/RF circuits reaching >2M total elements including >1M transistors. Verification tasks include DC operating point analysis, functional verification, package and transmission-line analysis, and targeted performance simulations. Here are a few examples:
