ADiT: Fast-SPICE Simulation Workshop
Overview
As mixed-signal designs increase in size and complexity the limitation of traditional fast-SPICE tools have become more apparent. The latest breakthrough in the ADMS verification platform is ADiT, a fast-SPICE simulator developed and optimized specifically for nanometer mixed-signal applications such as PLL, DLL, DAC, ADC, LDO, SERDES, etc.
During this lab-intensive, half-day workshop you will gain first-hand experience evaluating ADiT - Mentor's next-generation fast-SPICE simulator. Learn how you can benefit from ADiT as a stand-alone product or in conjunction with ADVance MS as a robust fast-SPICE mixed-signal simulation solution.
Agenda:
- 9:30 - 10:00: Introduction to ADiT
- 10:00 - 10:30: Lab 1 - UDRM Lab
- 10:30 - 11:00: Lab 2 - Leakage Current Checking Lab
- 11:00 - 11:30: ADiT - ADVance MS Integration
- 11:30 - 12:00: Lunch
- 12:00 - 12:45: Lab 3 - ADiT / ADVance MS Integration Lab
Lab Content
- Lab 1: UDRM (User-Defined Reliability Model): This lab analyzes circuit degradation after a few years of operation (aging or reliability analysis)
- Lab 2: Leakage Current Checking: This lab reports HiZ floating nodes and leakage current, which has become a critical issue as feature sizes shrink.
- Lab 3: ADiT - ADVance MS Integration: This lab combines the power of ADVance MS with ADiT to improve mixed-signal design and verification accuracy, speed and reliability.
Who Should Attend
- CAD managers interested in the latest mixed-signal design and verification tools
- System engineers performing verification of mixed analog and digital systems
- Analog design engineers who create IP for mixed signal IC
- Digital design engineers who are seeing analog portions entering their designs
- Project leaders who want their mixed-signal designs to meet specifications
Seating is VERY limited to maximize your learning experience, so submit your interest immediately to request your spot. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
