Using Virtuoso Multi-mode Simulation, VIS expects to accelerate the verification cycle, improving productivity on the production line and so shortening time to market for its products. VIS says it is anticipating verification to be around 10 times faster than with its previous simulation software.
Adopting the Virtuoso platform as our standard simulation solution addresses our need for efficiency and flexibility in verifying advanced mixed-signal designs, said George Liu, vice president of corporate development at VIS. With Cadence simulation technology, our development of both internal IP and process design kit for specialty processes was complemented by stronger support. This efficiency improvement meets our commitment to offering our foundry customers cost-effective and high value-added solutions for their IC foundry manufacturing needs.
Advances in design methodologies and flows require a mixed approach to simulation, said Charlie Giorgetti, corporate vice president, product marketing, at Cadence.
Virtuoso Multi-mode Simulation delivers the SPICE, FastSPICE, RF, and analog mixed-signal capabilities that make it one of the most comprehensive simulation solutions available for analog, mixed-signal, or RF design. We are excited to collaborate with VIS and are confident the deployment of Virtuoso Multi-mode Simulation will help VIS deliver a sign-off, silicon-accurate simulation solution for their customers.
