Synopsys Custom WaveView vX 2025.06.SP1 – Professional Waveform Viewer & Analyzer

What It Is:

Custom WaveView is a high-performance, graphical waveform analysis environment used in integrated circuit (IC) and system-on-chip (SoC) design.

• Primary Function: To visualize, analyze, and debug simulation results from circuit simulators like HSPICE, FineSim, Custom Simulator, and PrimeSim.

• Users: Analog/mixed-signal IC designers, verification engineers, and researchers in semiconductor companies (Intel, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, etc.) and academia.

• Part of the Ecosystem: It integrates tightly with Synopsys' Custom Design Platform (Custom Compiler).

Key Features (vX 2025.06.SP1 includes):

• Advanced Waveform Display: View voltage, current, power, and digital signals with high precision.

• Interactive Debugging: Cross-probing between schematics, layout, and waveforms to identify design issues.

• Measurement & Analysis: Built-in calculators for performance metrics (gain, bandwidth, noise, setup/hold time).

• High-Capacity & Speed: Handles massive simulation datasets (from post-layout parasitic extraction).

• Scripting & Automation: Supports Tcl and other scripting for batch analysis and report generation.
