Analog/Mixed-Signal Verification
Mentor's analog/mixed-signal verification tools offer a language-neutral verification environment for complex analog/mixed-signal System-on-Chip designs. Questa ADMS combines four high performance simulation engines in one efficient tool: Eldo Classic for general purpose analog simulations, Questa for digital simulations, ADiT™ for fast transistor-level simulations and Eldo RF for radio frequency simulations. Additionally, Mentor's recently released Faster-SPICE solution, Eldo Premier, providing increased performance and capacity, especially for very large circuits, without sacrificing accuracy. These technologies enable top-down design and bottom-up verification of multi-million gate AMS SoC designs.
Custom IC Flow
Mentor Graphic’s Custom IC flow and its integrated schematic, extraction and simulation tools allow you to take a design from system specifications to post-layout verification with a virtually seamless approach.
