Nearly all modern integrated circuits
require High-Speed I/Os. These circuits run at GHz speeds and support
standards and protocols such as SerDes, PCI, PCI-X, XAUI, DDR, DDR2,
and XDR.
Designers must verify that the I/O circuits meet stringent performance
requirements and protocol specifications across all operating
conditions. This requires many long transient simulations with full
SPICE accuracy. By reducing overnight simulations to a few hours and
week-long simulations to a day – all while producing identical
waveforms as traditional
SPICE simulators – Analog FastSPICE can help design teams cut days to
weeks off of their High-Speed I/O design cycle.
The table below lists customer High-Speed
I/O circuits for which Analog
FastSPICE delivered full SPICE accuracy at least 5X
faster.
