ATopTech has selected Berkeley’s Analog FastSPICE platform

ATopTech has selected the Berkeley Design Automation’s Analog FastSPICE (AFS) Platform to enhance the accuracy of the timing analysis in Aprisa place and route product for designs at advanced process technology nodes, such as 28nm and 20nm.

“Aprisa’s timing-driven place and route technology is constantly calibrated for SPICE-level accuracy at advanced technology nodes.” said Jue-Hsien Chern, CEO at ATopTech. “We selected the Analog FastSPICE Platform for the calibration of Aprisa’s timing-driven place and route technology for 28nm/20nm because it delivers nanometer SPICE accuracy more than 5 times faster than traditional SPICE and has the capacity required for large post-layout calibration runs.”

Berkeley Design Automation claims Analog FastSPICE Platform provides the world’s fastest circuit verification for nanometer analog, RF, mixed-signal, and custom digital circuits.

“We are excited that ATopTech selected the AFS Platform for characterization and calibration of their timing analysis engine,” said Ravi Subramanian, president and CEO of Berkeley Design Automation. “Accurate timing closure and sign-off is critical to IC designers and ATopTech’s selection highlights the accuracy, performance, and capacity benefits of the AFS Platform.”
