LG Electronics selects CustomSim for Mixed-Signal SoC Verification
Synopsys has announced that LG Electronics has selected Synopsys' CustomSim FastSPICE simulator for the verification of its analog intellectual property (IP) and mixed-signal system-on-chip (SoC) designs.
"Rapidly-changing market forces in consumer electronics are driving us to deliver SoCs in a continuously shrinking time frame. To achieve aggressive tapeout schedules, we need a circuit simulation solution that not only delivers superior performance but also has the capacity to simulate our largest designs with required accuracy. Our evaluation clearly demonstrated CustomSim's superior performance and capacity advantage over other competing analog simulators. We have seen an average improvement of 10X in analog IP verification throughput and are confident that CustomSim will meet our present and future transistor-level and mixed- signal verification needs," said Dr. Kirt (Kuk-Tae) Hong, mixed-signal group leader, LG Electronics.
The CustomSim FastSPICE simulator is an integral part of Synopsys' Discovery Verification Platform and delivers transistor-level verification performance and capacity for various classes of design.
"With the complexity of mobile communication devices, system providers such as LG Electronics are designing integrated circuits that combine multiple functional blocks, including analog, custom digital, memory and mixed-signal circuitry in a single device. CustomSim is delivering the performance and capacity needed to accelerate analog/mixed-signal verification for complex analog IP and SoCs," said Bijan Kiani, Vice-President, Product Marketing, Synopsys.
