Highest-throughput mixed-signal simulation with CustomSim and VCS The majority of today’s designs contain significant analog and mixed-signal content. Even SoCs that are designed for essentially digital functions still require PLLs for timing control, digitally-controlled power management circuits, and high-speed I/O devices. To complete verification of SoCs that contain a combination of RTL and synthesized logic, along with custom digital and analog circuits; Discovery AMS analog/digital co-simulation provides a direct kernel integration between Synopsys CustomSim, VCS and VCS-MX. Overview OverviewDiscovery AMS provides a comprehensive environment that enables verification of full-chip mixed-signal designs with built-in support for Verilog-AMS language defined by the Accellera 2.0 standard. It provides a unique combination of accuracy, performance and capacity with the flexibility of simulating design abstractions...

Sigrity’s newly released PowerSI can be used to: • Perform pre-layout and post-layout electrical analyses • Extract frequency-dependent impedances of power and ground systems of any number of layers and complex structures • Optimize decoupling capacitor placement • Identify package and board resonance • Analyze signal return path discontinuities • Evaluate electromagnetic coupling between different components (planes, traces, and vias) • Determine frequency-dependent S, Z and Y network parameters • Perform what-if comparisons to optimize electrical performance Broadband SPICE™, a new software module planned for release in Q2 of 2002, provides the transformation of S-parameters to broadband SPICE circuits, which can subsequently be used by conventional circuit solvers such as HSPICE.

Pulsonix 7.6 is an intermediate productivity version to release exciting new features and enhancements to our highly valued user base. Below is an overview of the major new features in this exciting new releaseScaled Symbols Pulsonix Version 7.6 introduces the ability to scale symbols. There are times when an imported design has symbols that are too large for example. You can now select and scale them to fit into the scheme of your design. It also allows you to scale symbols that are multi-functional, for drawing sheet borders and suchlike. Symbol scaling is easily performed using the Properties dialog and a simple scaling factor. Schematic Symbols and Documentation Symbols can be scaled. Scaled symbols can at any time, be returned...
