ANALOG OFFICE®
Key Features
-
APLAC® simulator: Fully integrated with the industry-leading APLAC simulator for time-domain and harmonic balance/multi-rate harmonic balance™ simulations
-
Extract flow with AXIEM™: For very-high-frequency designs, the same layout can be effortlessly extracted to AXIEM software for full-wave 3D planar electromagnetic characterization
-
Intelligent Net™ 2 (iNet2): Automatic, intelligent interconnect modeling for faster and more accurate design, simulation, extraction, and chip interconnect layout
-
Parasitic extraction: Streamlined integration to OEA International's NET-AN 3D net extraction technology for on-the-fly interconnect extraction of multiple silicon nets
-
EM Socket™: Open EM Socket interface enables integration with the industry's best EM tools for effortless EM simulation of ultra high frequency interconnects
-
DRC/LVS: PowerDRC/LVS technology provides fast, accurate, affordable physical verification solutions integrated into Analog Office software as an add-on module. Analog Office includes interface to other tools such as Mentor's Calibre DRC/LVS and Cadence's Assura DRC.
-
Multiple technology support: Mixed designs/technology support enables seamless IC - package - module and board co-design
-
Foundry support: Validated foundry RF process design kits (PDKs)
-
Interoperability support: Support for open access (OA) process design kits (PDKs) and layout views that enable an interoperable design flow among EDA vendors
Benefits
