Overview

Analog circuits are the foundation of all electronics and analog circuit design requires a multitude of tools for accurate simulation and analysis of these circuits. 草榴社区 Custom Compiler is a powerful solution for custom analog and mixed-signal schematic and layout design. It is built on the industry leading custom infrastructure which allows a rich set of functionality and a base to integrate any 草榴社区 or 3rd party tool. Combined with the PrimeWave Design Environment, designers have an open and flexible simulation setup, waveform viewing and post-processing solution, providing full-cycle design and reliability analysis for analog, RF and mm-wave designs. PrimeSim offers a full suite of small-signal and large-signal analog and RF simulation capabilities as well as ML-based High-Sigma Monte Carlo analysis.

Analog Design

Analog design has always been a unique challenge because the inputs and outputs are continuous, rather than discrete, and it requires careful optimization of parameters from a vast design space to converge on a subset of design specifications. With the advances in semiconductor technology to finfets and nanosheets, the impact of process variations and parasitic effects as well as reliability issues such as aging and electro-migration have become much more significant. Whether it is enhanced parasitic handling or device reliability issues for advanced nodes; thermal analysis, power efficiency or semiconductor process exploration for power devices; AI-based design migration and optimization; or advanced variation analysis for memory characterization, the 草榴社区 Custom Family offers innovative ways to deal with all of these challenges.

High Speed Design

The exponential growth in digital data  demands an increased need to send more data faster.  The latest semiconductor technologies are enabling circuits to perform at faster speeds with lower power consumption. As an example, high speed SerDes (Serializer-Deserializer) circuits enables chip-to-chip communication over a serial link. These incredibly complex circuits include various analog circuits such as bandgaps and regulators but also include high-speed data converters, phase locked loops and wideband amplifiers, all of which require different design and verification techniques. 草榴社区 is a premier provider of SerDes PHYs and most major SerDes IP providers use 草榴社区 as their trusted provider of custom and AMS tools.
