IC Station Schematic

Schematic Capture, Simulation Setup & Analysis

IC Station Schematic is a powerful tool for design capturing and netlisting design data integrated within a full custom IC design flow. IC Station Schematic works with the Mentor Graphics IC Station Layout suite of design tools to conceptualize, develop, simulate, verify, and produce even the most challenging full custom analog and mixed-signal IC designs quickly and accurately—the first time. The designer enjoys a consistent look and feel in one environment, whether creating schematics, block diagrams, symbols or HDL representations.

Custom IC Flow

Mentor’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.

Verification and Simulation

IC Station Schematic interfaces seamlessly with both Mentor Graphics and other third party simulation tools, enabling quick and accurate simulations of high transistor count processors, memory modules and mixed-signal designs. The result is shorter design cycles due to increased productivity.

Schematic Capture, Simulation Setup and Analysis

IC Station Schematic shortens design cycles by creating a high productivity environment for schematic capture and simulation setup for A/MS and RF simulation and analysis. The ability to simulate analog components quickly and accurately is achieved through an interface with Mentor Graphics Eldo™ and Eldo RF, and Questa ADMS products, creating a tight loop for capture, simulation and analysis of designs.

Superior Modeling Capability

C Station Schematic enables the modeling of digital, analog and mixed-signal blocks in a common environment using schematic representations C, VHDL, Verilog, SPICE, VHDL-AMS, or Verilog-AMS. Then it quickly enables simulation of the entire hierarchical design. Its ability to intelligently make trade-offs in design representations leads to faster and more accurate mixed-signal IC chip verification.

Highlights

  • Shortens design cycles by increasing productivity in schematic capture, simulation setup and analysis for analog/mixed-signal (A/MS) and radio frequency (RF) designs
  • Leads to faster and more accurate mixed-signal IC verification
  • Reduces hardware costs, leveraging cost-effective Linux workstations
  • Enables higher schematic entry productivity, especially for designs with repeated circuitry
