Newest Product in AVAD suite overcomes traditional Spice-level circuit verification challenges for analog and mixed-signal designers
SpiceCheck performs netlist debugging from syntax verification to circuit-aware static checking and allows integrated circuits (ICs) and systems on chip (SoCs) designers to perform global checks on traditionally difficult-to-find design issues.
SpiceCheck is the only fully Tcl programmable netlist-driven tool for static electrical rule checking that is also capable of dynamic waveform probing. SpiceCheck can be customized to detect difficult issues such as missing level shifters in multi-supply designs.
Today's low-power, high-speed chips commonly involve multi-rail voltage sources, internal charge pumps and multiple transistor process models that present verification challenges for designers. With traditional dynamic Spice simulation, it is difficult to ensure that low-voltage devices are not present in high-voltage rails; that no leakage devices appear at multi-rail interface blocks; and, at the physical level, that no signal integrity problem remains as a result of high resistance capacitance RC parasitics. SpiceCheck allows designers to address these challenges efficiently.
