Accurate, fast SPICE-level simulation
Key Benefits
• High-performance, high-capacity SPICE-level analog and RF simulation
with out-of-the-box tuning
• User-friendly simulation setup for the most complex analog and custom-
digital ICs, facilitating accuracy/performance tradeoff
• Accurate, efficient post-layout simulation with RLCK parasitics, S-parameter
models, and lossy coupled transmission lines
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 with
out-of-the-box tuning for accuracy and convergence
• Facilitates the tradeoff between accuracy and performance through user-friendly
simulation setup applicable to the most complex analog and custom-digital ICs
• Enables accurate and efficient post-layout simulation with RLCK parasitics, S-Parameter
models (n-port), and lossy coupled transmission lines (mtline)
• Performs application-specific analysis of RF performance parameters (spectral response,
gain compression, inter-modulation distortion, impedance matching, stability, isolation)
• Includes advanced statistical analysis (Smart, MonteCarlo, DCmatch) to help design
companies improve the manufacturability and yield of ICs at advanced process nodes
without sacrificing time to market
• Delivers fast interactive simulation set-up, cross-probing, visualization, and post-
processing of simulation results through tight integration with the Virtuoso Analog
Design Environment
