The Cadence® Spectre® Circuit Simulator provides fast, accurate SPICE-level simulation for analog, radio frequency (RF), and mixed-signal circuits. It is tightly integrated with the Cadence Virtuoso® custom design platform and provides detailed transistor-level analysis in multiple domains. Its superior architecture allows for low memory consumption and high-capacity analysis.Features
Provides high-performance, high-capacity SPICE-level analog and RF simulation out of the box for accuracy and convergence
Enable the tradeoff between accuracy and performance through user-friendly simulation setup applicable to the most complex analog and custom-digital ICs
Uses the +postlayout option to provide efficient post-layout simulation with RLCK parasitics
Utilizes efficient multi-threaded technology to improve simulation throughput
Simulates distributed components modeled using S-parameter models (n-port) and lossy coupled transmission line (mtline) elements
Performs RF analysis of periodic steady-state and modulated signals used to measure spectral response, gain compression, inter-modulation distortion, impedance matching, stability, isolation, and ACPR
Includes advanced statistical analysis (Smart Monte Carlo, DCmatch, High Sigma Yield Estimation) to improve the manufacturability and yield of ICs at advanced process nodes without sacrificing time to market
Tight integration with the Virtuoso ADE Product Suite provides fast interactive simulation set-up, cross-probing, visualization, and post-processing of simulation results
Wide foundry support ensures high design quality using silicon-accurate, foundry-certified device models
