Synopsys FineSim vW-2024.09-SP2

Synopsys, Inc. has released FineSim vW-2024.09-SP2 is a high-performance circuit simulator with built-in full SPICE and FastSPICE simulation engines, which is well-suited for simulation of large, complex analog circuits, as well as DRAM/SRAM/Flash memory design.

FineSim is an integrated SPICE and FastSPICE simulation engine-based circuit performance simulator designed for semiconductor industries. It enables users to verify mixed-signal SoCs, calculate root-mean-square current values, accomplish hierarchical simulation recognition for memory structures, customize analog and mixed signals, leverage runtimes by 3X to 10X for core simulations, as well as manage virtual verification with extracted post-layout parasitics. Features include performance management, multi-machine simulation capability, SerDes support, power management, RC reduction algorithm support, and FSDB format support

Manu Pillai, Sr.Staff Applications Engineer at Synopsys, discusses common Analog / RF simulation challenges and how FineSim SPICE, an integral part of the Synopsys Custom Design Platform, can help address those challenges.
