WILSONVILLE, Ore., June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor Graphics
Corp. (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced that MagnaChip Semiconductor
Corp. (NYSE: MX), a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog
and mixed-signal semiconductor products for high-volume consumer
applications, has selected the Mentor® Analog FastSPICE™
(AFS™) Platform for circuit verification and device noise analysis
of their analog and mixed-signal designs including display drivers,
power management ICs, and PLLs.
"We needed to reduce our long circuit simulation time and
include device noise analysis in our analog and mixed-signal
circuit verification flow," said Dr. Kihyun
Kim, senior manager, Design Technology at MagnaChip. "We
selected the AFS Platform because it demonstrated SPICE accurate
results 2.5x-4x faster than our existing parallel SPICE simulator
in multiple analog circuits."
The AFS Platform provides the world's fastest circuit
verification for nanometer analog, RF, mixed-signal, memory, and
custom digital circuits. Foundry certified by the world's leading
foundries and IDMs, 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 20M 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 MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation
has selected the Analog FastSPICE Platform for circuit verification
and device noise analysis of their analog and mixed-signal
designs," said Ravi Subramanian,
general manager of AMS products in the DSM division, Mentor
Graphics. "MagnaChip offers one of the broadest and deepest analog
and mixed-signal semiconductor technology platforms in the industry
and we are delighted to be one of their essential partners."
