Fast, accurate, high-capacity circuit simulation and analysis shorten turnaround time, improve quality of results

With the interdependencies of nanometer effects and growing design complexity, designers need fast, accurate, high-capacity circuit simulation and analysis. FineSim™ enables the fastest, SPICE-accurate simulation of the most challenging designs. Tekton is a new timing analysis platform that offers significantly higher capacity and dramatically faster runtimes than traditional tools, without sacrificing accuracy. The Tekton platform includes QCP, a fast, high-capacity, full-chip extractor that delivers results with the accuracy of the industry standard, QuickCap®. Tekton and QCP can be used together in a single STA timing session for very fast and accurate “what-if” analysis for engineering change orders (ECOs).

• FineSim Fast Monte Carlo is a revolutionary new alternative to traditional Monte Carlo analysis, making it possible to achieve much more accurate statistical analysis in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods.
• FineSim Pro provides full-chip circuit-level simulation, enabling the simulation of the most challenging analog mixed-signal SoCs with SPICE accuracy and unprecedented performance.
• FineSim SPICE leverages Magma’s Native Parallel Technology (NPT) to provide the accuracy, speed and capacity needed to simulate the most challenging analog designs.
• Tekton is a next-generation STA tool. It provides groundbreaking multi-mode/multi-corner performance on single CPU machines, delivering timing updates for tens of millions of instances in minutes. It provides full support for crosstalk analysis and AOCV and offers an embedded SPICE engine when extremely high accuracy is required.
• QCP is a next-generation standalone extraction tool that provides the performance boost and accuracy required for designs at 40 nm and below. Built on a new architecture, QCP provides significant performance gains that eliminate the extraction bottleneck in timing closure. Its elegant multi-corner extraction solution scales well with the explosion in the number of PVT corners required for sign-off.  With QuickCap® integrated under the hood, designers can dial-in the  capacitance accuracy required for analyzing critical nets.
