Synopsys Hspice Z. v2007.03

HSPICE is the industry's "gold standard" for accurate
circuit simulation and offers foundry-certified MOS device
models with state-of-the-art simulation and analysis
algorithms. With over 25 years of successful design
tapeouts, HSPICE is the industry's most trusted and
comprehensive circuit simulator.

Design Challenges As IC geometries continue to shrink, the
need for an accurate circuit simulator is critical.
Designers require a highly accurate circuit simulator to
precisely predict the timing, power consumption,
functionality, and yield of their designs. As board and
package speeds increase, designers need to employ
increasingly accurate signal integrity analysis.

* Accuracy o Gold standard for accurate circuit
simulation. o Extensive model support of the most accurate
and expansive set of industry-standard and proprietary
simulation models.

* Performance o HSPICE Just Got Faster Again! Synopsys has
made HSPICE a performance leader. o Significant speed up
for cell characterization applications, large extracted
netlists, signal integrity, and 65 nm designs.

* Design for Yield - Simulating Variability o Process &
Interconnect Variation ? Models both device and interconnect
variation o Variation Block - powerful and flexible
mechanism for defining process variation effects. o AC &
DCMatch - efficient statistical simulation for local
parameter mismatch effects. o "Smart" Monte Carlo -
all-purpose statistical simulation that runs several times
faster than tradition Monte Carlo techniques.

* Board and Package Design Integrity Analysis o Enhanced
W-elements and S-parameters to model signal integrity issues
and support SI Analysis. o Support for massive 500 port
S-parameters

* RF and High Speed Simulation o Best RF Simulator for PLL
and VCO applications o Most Accurate RF Simulator o
Fastest RF Simulator o High Capacity RF Simulator, 10000+
transistors with both Harmonic Balance and Shooting Newton
algorithms o Comprehensive solution simulates low noise
amplifiers, power amplifiers, filters, AGC circuits,
oscillators, mixers, multipliers, modulators, demodulators,
and VCOs.
