Eldo
Eldo™ offers numerous simulation and modeling options that deliver high-performance and high-speed simulation with superior accuracy.
Get all the capability and accuracy of SPICE-level simulation from a native analog simulation engine yielding the highest performance for the verification of the most complex analog IPs or SoCs. Eldo includes the most advanced simulation technology and provides extensive simulation capabilities. Its advanced analysis features include transient noise, DC mismatch, sensitivity, aging analysis, library encryption and licensing capabilities, optimization, distributed computing, multi-threading, RC reduction, pole-zero, enhanced Monte-Carlo analysis, S-parameters, S-domain and Z-domain generalized transfer functions. Eldo's extensive device model libraries include all the latest transistor models such as BSIM, PSP or HiSIM. It is the simulator of choice for CPU-intensive applications such as digital cell characterization. Eldo's capabilities can be further extended with VerilogA analog behavioral modeling, advanced RF analysis with Eldo RF, or mixed signal with Questa ADMS RF. Eldo and its options are completely integrated into the Analog Design Environment from Cadence and in Mentor Graphics ICFlow.
