Spectre X Simulator provided 2X performance
gain to meet ISO requirements for critical automotive
applications
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that
TriEye used the Cadence® Spectre® X Simulator to accelerate the
design of a next-generation CMOS-based Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR)
image sensor by several months. Using the Spectre X Simulator,
TriEye observed at least a 2X performance gain over previous
simulators while achieving the required accuracy to meet ISO
requirements for critical automotive applications.
TriEye is a fabless semiconductor company with the world's first
CMOS-based SWIR sensing solution. TriEye’s challenge was to put
together accurate simulations of arrays that contain over a million
transistors. This level of accuracy requires a SPICE-based
simulator, but most SPICE simulators have limited performance and
capacity to tackle the complexity of these designs. Using the
Spectre X Simulator, TriEye was able to significantly speed up
their design cycle.
TriEye also leveraged the Cadence Virtuoso® ADE Assembler and
Virtuoso ADE Verifier to easily set up hundreds of tests under
various power, voltage and temperature (PVT) conditions and run
exhaustive verification plans. The combination of simulation
performance, easy analysis of pass/fail data and detailed
specification tracking reduced their overall time to market by
weeks.
“Our state-of-the-art CMOS-based SWIR image sensors require
accurate verification down to the smallest level of detail while
still adhering to a very demanding timeline,” said Omer Kapach, VP
R&D and Co-Founder of TriEye. “The Spectre X Simulator’s
capacity and performance improvements let us simulate our sensors
accurately with a 2X speed improvement. When used in combination
with the Virtuoso ADE Assembler, we were able to optimize our
design quickly and efficiently and provide accurate modeling for
post-silicon activities.”
The massively parallel Spectre X Simulator maintains the golden
accuracy customers have come to expect from over 25 years of
Spectre industry leadership in analog, mixed-signal and RF
applications. The simulator supports the Cadence Intelligent System
Design™ strategy, enabling design excellence. For more information
