Questa ADMS
Questa ADMS™ is a language-neutral, mixed-signal simulator that enables top-down design and bottom-up verification of multi-million gate analog/mixed-signal System-on-Chip designs.
The Mentor Graphics Questa ADMS™ simulator gives designers a comprehensive environment for verifying complex analog/mixed-signal (AMS) System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. ADMS combines four high performance simulation engines in one efficient tool: Eldo™ for analog large-signal and frequency domain simulations, ModelSim® for digital simulations, Mach™ for fast transistor-level simulations and Eldo-RF™ for modulated steady state simulation. ADMS is fully integrated with the Mentor Graphics Design Architect-IC™ (DAIC) tool, the Cadence® Analog Design Environment, and the ModelSim graphical interface. The CommLib™ QuickStart™ library of essential telecommunication blocks jumpstarts your development of system level designs and exploration of architectural variations. The TCL scripting language enables batch control of the simulation.
