Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT) today announced two
significant customer achievements using its ADVance MS๏ฟฝ (ADMS)
mixed-signal verification platform. ADMS is a scalable platform
that has been architected for mixed-signal functional verification.
The platform integrates a suite of simulation tools, Eldo๏ฟฝ, Eldo
RF, and ADiT๏ฟฝ for transistor-level simulation, as well as Questa๏ฟฝ
for logic-level simulation. ADMS provides versatile capabilities
that enable designers to verify that their designs are correct in
either a digital-centric or analog-centric design flow. AMS SoC
Verification with ADVance MS Portable consumer electronics and
wireless products have become the dominant force in today's global
electronics market. Relentless demand for new features and
functionality in these devices is driving unprecedented integration
of RF, analog, and mixed-signal applications. This trend toward AMS
SoC integration requires the ability to verify designs at the full
chip level with special attention to digital and analog
interactions. UMC, a world-leading semiconductor foundry (NYSE:UMC)
(TSE:2303), verified a complete transceiver reference design that
included a combination of design representations such as digital
languages, analog mixed-signal behavior languages, SPICE models and
fast SPICE models (ADiT) by leveraging the seamless integration of
various simulation engines offered via the ADMS platform. ๏ฟฝThrough
our collaboration with Mentor, we successfully validated a full
chip mixed-signal transceiver reference design in our 130nm
mixed-signal process using Mentor๏ฟฝs ADMS technology,๏ฟฝ said Patrick
Lin, chief SoC architect, system and architecture support, UMC.
๏ฟฝWith the combination of our reference design and the ADMS
methodology, we are providing our mixed-signal customers another
approach to achieve shorter time-to-market with our advanced
mixed-signal processes. The combined methodology is slated to be
demonstrated in a series of events starting with a demo at DAC
2007.๏ฟฝ Mixed-Signal Design Verification with ADiT Nanometer
mixed-signal designs increasingly exhibit analog behavior. Battery
powered portable device types bring additional complexity because
of the fluctuation in power supply. These challenges have rendered
traditional fast-SPICE tools inadequate for verification purposes.
The latest breakthrough in the ADMS verification platform is ADiT,
a fast-SPICE simulator developed and optimized specifically for
nanometer mixed-signal applications such as PLL, DLL, DAC, ADC,
LDO, and SERDES. ๏ฟฝADiT delivers excellent convergence and the
performance required for our low-power wireless applications.
Especially, the near out-of-box accuracy of ADiT reduces the effort
for tuning the simulator and increases overall productivity,๏ฟฝ said
Christian Caillon, components development director, cellular
terminal division, STMicroelectronics. ๏ฟฝThe efficient integration
into ADMS also provides a seamless transition into our
mixed-signal, full chip verification methodology.๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝWe are
delighted that our customers achieved design success with our
verification technologies,๏ฟฝ said Jue-Hsien Chern, vice president
and general manager, deep submicron division, Mentor Graphics.
๏ฟฝThrough close collaboration with our partners, we have developed
leading-edge technologies for AMS SoC design.๏ฟฝ About Mentor
