"At Newport Media we have been using Analog FastSPICE for over two years forverification of our single-chip solutions for mobile TV broadcast and weconsistently get 5x-10x faster results than traditional SPICE simulators withidentical waveforms and silicon accurate device noise analysis," said EdwardYoussoufian, Director of RF Engineering at Newport Media. "We standardized onthe AFS Platform for analog/RF verification because it delivers >2x improveddesigner efficiency and addresses all our verification needs, includingblock-level design characterization, complex-block simulation, silicon-accuratedevice noise analysis, and full-chip mixed-signal verification -- all with trueSPICE accuracy." Analog FastSPICE is the industry's only unified circuit verification platformfor analog, mixed-signal, and RF design. Always delivering true SPICE accurateresults, it provides 5x-20x higher performance than traditional SPICE, >10million-element capacity, and the industry's only comprehensive noise analysis.The AFS Platform is a single executable that uses advanced algorithms andnumerical analysis to rapidly solve the full-circuit matrix and original deviceequations without any shortcuts. AFS Platform tools include: AFS Nano SPICEsimulator, Analog FastSPICE circuit simulator, Noise Analysis Option devicenoise analyzer, and RF FastSPICE multi-tone periodic analyzer. "Newport Media is a great example of a company retooling for next-generationanalog, mixed-signal, and RF design to significantly improve their verificationefficiency," said Ravi Subramanian, president and CEO of Berkeley DesignAutomation. "Newport Media develops breakthrough nanometer mixed-signal and RFsolutions for the TV-enabled cellular phone market, and we are proud that theyhave chosen to standardize on the Analog FastSPICE platform for all theiranalog/RF verification needs. This further validates that Berkeley DesignAutomation is an essential partner as companies embark on new tooling strategiesfor greater verification efficiency."
