Benefits
Accelerated simulation speed
Simulation speed is orders of magnitude faster
than conventional Spice simulators.
Full-chip simulation capacity
Efficiently simulates full-chip designs, either
hierarchical or flattened netlists.
Exceptional accuracy
Turbo-MSIM uses optimized time-based
algorithms and proven models to deliver
silicon-accurate results.
Scalable speed, capacity and accuracy
Achieves best-in-class throughput with
scalable speed capacity and accuracy.
Ultimate post-layout analysis
Enables speedy post-layout simulation and
includes state-of-the-art RC reduction.
Applications
Full-chip simulations for SoC designs
Provides the capacity for full-chip simulation,
either hierarchical circuit or flatterned
layout-extracted netlist.
Functional verification
Supports transistor-level functional verification,
with vector input stimulus and vector output
verification (VEC and VCD).
Timing and power analysis
Performs transient analysis for timing verification
and accurate power simulation, especially for
leakage power. Turbo-MSIM is extraordinarily
accurate for circuits with multiple voltage sources.
Memory and mixed-mode designs
Proficiently recognizes repeated structures in
memory circuits to optimize simulation
throughput. Incorporates advanced algorithms and
interfaces for mixed-mode designs.
Features
Tabular device models for speed-up
Generates tabular device models from complicated
analytical models. Table-lookup models facilitate
much faster simulation speed.
Latency detection for throughput
Simulates only active circuits by latency detection
to dramatically enhance speed.
Subcircuits and hierarchy rebuilding
Extracts sub-circuits and re-build hierarchy from
flatterned circuit for speed and memory efficiency.
Advanced RC reduction
Built-in RC reduction modules are used to enhance
the performance by reducing the size of circuit
matrix during DC and transient iterations.
