WILSONVILLE, Ore., Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor
Graphics Corp. (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced that Terminus
Technology Inc., a leading provider of custom analog, RF, and I/O
IP based in Taiwan, has selected
the Mentor® Analog FastSPICE™ (AFS™) Platform for
verification and device noise analysis of its data converter, power
management, Wireless LAN, high-speed I/O and PLL
circuits.
"We have stringent circuit verification and noise analysis
requirements for our custom analog, RF, and high-speed I/O
circuits," said Mr. Yu-Kuo Chen,
senior manager of R&D of Terminus Technology. "We selected the
AFS Platform because it fully addresses our requirements for
circuit verification accuracy, performance, and capacity. AFS
device noise analysis delivers silicon-accurate PLL noise analysis.
In the case of a SerDes circuit verification, AFS delivered
nanometer SPICE accuracy 5x faster than our existing parallel SPICE
simulator."
The Analog FastSPICE Platform (AFS) provides the world's
fastest circuit verification for nanometer analog, RF,
mixed-signal, memory, and custom digital circuits. Foundry
certified to 10nm, the AFS Platform delivers nanometer SPICE
accuracy 5x-10x faster than traditional SPICE and 2x-6x faster than
parallel SPICE simulators. For large circuits the AFS Platform
delivers greater than 10M element capacity and the fastest
mixed-signal simulation. For memory and other array-based circuits,
AFS Mega delivers silicon-accurate simulation with greater than
100M element capacity. For silicon-accurate characterization it
includes the industry's only comprehensive full-spectrum device
noise analysis and a high-productivity Analog Characterization
Environment product—both of which deliver 5x-10x speedup over
alternative approaches.
"We are very pleased that Terminus Technology has selected
the Analog FastSPICE Platform for its custom, analog, RF and
high-speed I/O verification flow," said Ravi Subramanian, general manager of AMS
products in the DSM division, Mentor Graphics. "Terminus
Technology's selection further validates the value of Mentor
Graphics as an essential partner for custom IP suppliers to the
semiconductor industry."
