Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced the availability of Calibre® xRC™ and Calibre xL rule decks for TSMC’s advanced 65nm process node. These rule decks provide advanced modeling capabilities including process sensitivity, and self and mutual inductance. Calibre now provides a solution for many types of integrated circuit designs including analog, digital, mixed signal, and memory. For nanometer designs, accurate simulation and analysis requires more than traditional resistance and capacitance. Designers need a post-layout silicon model that incorporates inductance, process sensitivity effects, and efficient accounting of effects not captured in the device model. Using Calibre xRC and Calibre xL in the design flow helps ensure that designers have all the data they need to obtain successful first pass silicon....

New Fast Envelope in MMSIM10.1 is *Really* Fast and Accurate! Fast envelope analysis technology uses an accelerated mathematical representation to reduce the computational complexity * The circuit is automatically calibrated and replaced by an accelerated mathematical representation without the designer\’s intervention. * Simulation completes in minutes, independent of the designer’s specified stop time. * Good compromise between computational efficiency and accuracy. Simulations that used to take days now take hours or minutes with no loss in accuracyA new multi-threading capability has greatly improved simulation speed for RF Designers! * In MMSIM7.2, we introduced APS for Harmonic Balance analyses (multi-threaded harmonic balance simulation). * In MMSIM10.1, we added support for APS in Shooting PSS and small signal analyses (multi-threaded shooting pss...

Simics creates agility in your development process which directly impacts your time-to-market. By using virtual hardware which is available before your target hardware is available, your software teams can begin software development much earlier than is typical.Speed Development, Debug and Integration Simics is an ideal platform for software developers — both at the board bring-up level and the software application level. At the board bring up level, Simics provides early access to virtual hardware to allow developers to have drivers, BSPs, and RTOS\’s ready to go when physical hardware arrives. In addition, debugging this type of code can often be challenging because developers don\’t have access to internal states and registers of hardware devices. Simics provides visibility and control of...

Install Cadence IUS as per the IT instructions (can be found on our wiki or on theIT web site). That means install Cadence IUS by running setup.exe from thefollowing directory:\\stuappNETAPPSCadenceIUS54QSR2_wint.UpdateCDROM1Setup.exea. You will be installing the IUS tools. You will not be installing the licensemanager. Uninstall all previous versions of the IUS tools first.b. Follow all obvious prompts and install the obvious/defaults. I have alreadyinstalled this software at the time of this tutorial, so I do not havescreenshots. Sorry.c. The license manager should already be set if you have installed otherCadence software (for instance, PSPICE). If not, the license managershould be set to 5280@STUAPP.d. Restart if instructed.e. The Cadence IUS tools are now in your Start Menu under Cadence DesignSystems. 2)...
