Mohagi Opts For Berkeley Design Automation AFS Nano

Mohagi, a developer of energy-efficient analog and mixed-signal IP, has chosen Berkeley Design Automation’s Analog FastSPICE Nano SPICE simulator for analog and mixed-signal IP verification.

"We are excited that Mohagi has selected AFS Nano for verification of their high-performance mixed-signal and analog IP," said Ravi Subramanian, president and CEO of Berkeley Design Automation, in a statement.

Berkeley Design Automation Inc is a provider of the Analog FastSPICE unified circuit verification platform. Its AFS Nano is up to 10 times faster than traditional SPICE, supporting up to 5,000 element circuits.

"At Mohagi, we push the envelope on power-constrained performance of our mixed-signal IP and we need to efficiently run comprehensive regression suites to meet our cost objectives," said Harry Peterson, CEO at Mohagi, in a press release.

It was only after evaluating the price-performance of the major traditional SPICE simulators in the market that Mohagi opted for AFS Nano.

AFS Nano, the industry’s only unified circuit verification platform for analog, mixed-signal, and RF design, delivers 50x better price-performance versus traditional SPICE when running typical regression suites on Mohagi’s mixed-signal IP including high performance ADCs and PLLs.

Delivering true SPICE accurate results, AFS is also said to be the industry’s only comprehensive device noise analysis that uses advanced algorithms and numerical analysis to rapidly solve the full-circuit matrix and original device equations without any shortcuts.

Ravi Subramanian added: “Mohagi's selection of AFS Nano further validates the strong competitive advantage and price/performance benefits the Analog FastSPICE Platform provides to leading-edge analog/mixed-signal IP designers."

In related news, Berkeley Design Automation, Inc has announced that Forza Silicon Inc., a fabless semiconductor company specializing in high-resolution, high-speed CMOS image sensors, has selected the company's Analog FastSPICE Platform for full-circuit verification and block-level characterization.
