Mentor Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) Verification 2024 for Linux | Unified Verification Platform for Analog/Mixed-Signal ICs

Mentor AMS Verification 2024 for Linux is a comprehensive, Linux-native verification platform for complex analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. It combines fast SPICE simulation, analog behavioral modeling, and digital event-driven simulation in a unified environment to verify the interaction between analog and digital blocks efficiently.

Core Functionality Overview:

• Unified Mixed-Signal Simulation Engine: Integrates the ELDO fine-grain parallel SPICE simulator with the Questa ADMS digital simulator, enabling accurate and fast co-simulation of transistor-level analog blocks with RTL or gate-level digital logic.

• Advanced Modeling & Verification Methodology: Supports real-number modeling (RNM), Verilog-AMS, and VHDL-AMS for creating abstract models of analog blocks, drastically speeding up system-level verification.

• Comprehensive Analysis & Debug Environment: Provides advanced analysis modes (noise, stability, Monte Carlo) and a unified debug environment for viewing analog waveforms and digital transactions together.
