Berkeley
Design Automation Brings Big Analog/RF IC Verification to Europe
New European Office to
Support Fast Growth via Direct Local Sales and Support
Santa Clara, CA, — October 11,
2007— Berkeley Design Automation, Inc., provider of Precision Circuit
Analysis™ tools for advanced analog and RF integrated circuits, today
announced the establishment of its first European office based in
Surrey, United Kingdom. The office will provide direct sales and
technical support to the European analog and RF design community.
“Europe has held a strong leadership position in analog/RF IC design in
a number of markets, including communications, consumer, and
automotive,” said Ravi Subramanian, president and CEO of Berkeley
Design Automation. “Establishing a European presence will enable us to
support the fast-growing customer interest in Berkeley Design
Automation Precision Circuit Analysis tools. With our team in Europe,
we will be able to work directly with these customers to address the
next-generation analog/RF and mixed-signal design challenges that are
key to maintaining their market and technology leadership.”
Berkeley Design Automation tools include Analog FastSPICE™ circuit
simulation, RF FastSPICE™ periodic analyzer, and PLL Noise Analyzer™.
The company guarantees identical waveforms to the leading “golden”
SPICE simulators down to noise floor (typically ~0.1%) while delivering
5x-10x higher performance and 5x-10x higher capacity. It achieves this
by using advanced algorithms and numerical analysis techniques to
rapidly solve the full-circuit matrix and the original device equations
without any shortcuts that could compromise accuracy.
Design teams from top-10 semiconductor companies to leading-edge
startups use Berkeley Design Automation tools to solve big analog/RF
verification problems. Typical applications include characterizing
complex blocks (e.g., PLLs, ADCs, DC:DC converters, PHYs, Tx/Rx chains)
and running performance simulation of full circuits (e.g., wireless
transceivers, wireline transceivers, high-speed I/O macros, memories,
microcontrollers, data converters, and power converters).
The Berkeley Design Automation European office can be contacted via
email at sales.europe@berkeley-da.com
or via telephone at +44 (1344) 62-4970.
