ADiT
ADiT is the tool of choice to address the challenges associated with simulating today’s complex analog and mixed signal circuit designs. It is a fast-SPICE simulation tool that delivers the ability to obtain accurate and reliable simulation results 10X — 100X faster than traditional SPICE tools. ADiT is integrated into the ADVance MS mixed-signal simulation solution and supports both Eldo and HSPICE netlist formats.

Calibre nmDRC
Calibre® nmDRC is the solution to the physical verification challenges of nanometer design. Calibre nmDRC, with the new Hyperscaling processing architecture, produces best-in-class DRC run times with scalability to 100 CPUs. Full integration to popular layout environments and direct read capability allow designers to invoke DRC and debug results seamlessly within their design flow. Calibre nmDRC leverages the Calibre nm Platform to provide model-based verification and analysis, and visualization to guide the designer to the errors that truly impact yield. It is integrated with an innovative incremental verification and dynamic results viewing/debugging environment to further reduce DRC cycle time and dramatically improve designer productivity.

Eldo
High-Performance Circuit Simulator -Verification of A/MS (Analog/Mixed-Signal) circuits and SoC (System on a Chip) designs have reached the limit of classical SPICE simulation techniques. The Eldo simulator is the simulator of choice for IC silicon vendors and Fabless design centers for four reasons: speed, accuracy, convergence, and capacity. When compared to other commercial or internal SPICE simulators, users report a 3X to 10X speed ratio without experiencing a compromise of accuracy, compared to silicon. Eldo provides the best-in-class convergence for all problems. Designers worldwide use Eldo on designs ranging from the lowest complexity of a single cell to systems of up to 300,000 transistors or more.

IC Station
IC Station is a complete polygon editing solution and hierarchical, schematic-driven layout environment for creating IC layouts based on information from a logic source. It includes ready-to-use parameterized device generators for digital and analog layout design. IC Station also offers an Engineering Change Order (ECO) component for rapid, automatic layout modifications as changes to the logic source occur.
