imulating Crystal Oscillators got a lot easier in MMSIM13.1…We have made enhancments to both Harmonic Balance and Transient analyses. In Part 1, I’ll cover Improvements to the Harmonic Balance use model. With a streamlined Choosing Analyses form you can now focus on the simulation results, rather than the setup of the analysis. In Part 2, I\’ll cover Improvements to transient analysis. We’ve added a new feature to transient analysis that allows you to reach steady state more quickly should you decide to simulate your crystal oscillator using transient analysis. Important: Be sure to use IC615 ISR14 or later to see the new MMSIM13.1 features in the GUI. Part 1: MMSIM 13.1 SpectreRF Harmonic Balance simulations are more streamlined. In MMSIM...

Circuit designSelectively automating non-critical aspects of custom IC design allows engineers to focus on precision-crafting their designs. Cadence circuit design solutions enable fast and accurate entry of design concepts, which includes managing design intent in a way that flows naturally in the schematic. Using this advanced, parasitic-aware environment, you can abstract and visualize the many interdependencies of an analog, RF, or mixed-signal design to understand and determine their effects on circuit performance. Virtuoso Schematic EditorProvides a complete design and constraint composition environment for front-to-back analog, custom-digital, RF, and mixed-signal designs.Designed to help users create manufacturing-robust designs, Cadence® Virtuoso® Analog Design Environment is the advanced design and simulation environment for the Virtuoso platform. It gives designers access to a new parasitic...

This latest release offers numerous improvements to tool usability and performance, but at the heart of 16.6 are three key benefits: enhanced miniaturization capabilities, timing-aware physical implementation and verification for faster timing closure, and the industry\’s first electrical CAD team collaboration environment for PCB design using Microsoft SharePoint technology. A hot fix is a software maintenance package containing a small number of code fixes, designed to fix a sall number of critical problems. A hot fix enables a customer to receive fixes for urgent problems, without having to wait for the next service pack. Each successive Fix Pack is comprehensive and contains the material from the earlier Fix Packs for that Release, as well as all Interim Fixes made available...

Optimizing designs for leakage and dynamic power helps designers reduce energy consumption and packaging costs. But these advanced low-power design methods also complicate the verification task, introducing risk during synthesis and physical implementation. Full-chip, gate-level simulation is not a practical or scalable methodology for verifying today’s large, complex designs. Encounter® Conformal® Low Power enables designers to create power intent, then verify and debug multimillion-gate designs optimized for low power, without simulating test vectors. It combines low-power structural and functional checks with world-class equivalence checking to provide superior performance, capacity, and ease of use. Features/BenefitsReduces the risk of silicon re-spins by providing complete verification coverageDetects low-power implementation errors early in the design cycleVerifies multimillion-gate designs much faster than traditional gate-level simulationCloses...

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. announce that hotfix version 003 for 16.60 release available. This update includes some critical bug fixes. Cadence Design Systems, Inc., a leader in global electronic design innovation, launched the Cadence OrCAD 16.6 design solution with new features, enhanced customization capabilities, and 20 percent simulation performance improvements that provide customers a shorter, more predictable path to product creation.

MMSIM 12.1 contains many new features to aid RF designers. Many of these changes are described in my Part 1 blog post. I\’ve saved my favorite for last….here\’s a preview of the changes to the nport component in MMSIM12.1. 1. The Edit Object Properties/Add Instance form has been revised for better usability. 2. For most S-parameter files, only the S-Parameter file name and the number of ports need to be specified. (See the red boxes in the GUI below). The default settings for all of the other properties are suggested. nport1a gui 3. When you select the Browse and select s-data file button, the following GUI appears and allows you to browse and select the desired s-parameter data file. Once...
