Innovative discrete simulator plug-ins for fast analog mixed signal modeling and simulation in SystemVerilog environments for the purpose of pre-silicon functional verification at module-level and SoC level. Extend the capability of your existing discrete simulator to support fast mixed signal simulation.
Promotes rapid model and test development and re-use with features tailored for functional modeling/verification, including multi-channel electrical networks, multi-instance partitioned circuit solvers, network/circuit debug functionality, and short simulation times.
Available on Linux for Modelsim/Questa-Intel FPGA and Cadence Xcelium simulators, and online as online-VAMS with Icarus Verilog.
neoVAMS is a high performance multi-partition analog solver extension/plug-in for industry standard SystemVerilog simulators, adding seamless Verilog-AMS simulation capability.
Aimed at accelerating functional verification of very large mixed signal modules and SoCs requiring transient behavior, it incorporates several innovative features while requiring near zero changes to existing tool flows.
neoVAMS is fast enough, even with difficult/ complex models such as switching regulators, to often allow re-use of detailed module-level models at SoC-level.
Multi-channel analog wire connectivity and components for implementing linear electrical networks/circuits across Verilog wire ports.
Used in "Real Value" modeling of interconnected analog circuits at module-level and SoC-level. Voltage and current are resolved on each channel of ideal or resistive networks according to KVL and KCL.
Fast mixed-signal simulator providing familiar low level Spice-like components and higher level functions/ filters such as 'cross' and 'transition' as specified in Verilog-AMS.
Support for circuit partitioning to use multiple solver instances, seamless connectivity with FMS-DE discrete electrical networks/ models, and components and features tuned for functional simulation rather than characterisation, result in astoundingly fast simulation times.
FMS-MS is fast enough, even with difficult/ complex models such as switching regulators, to often allow re-use of detailed module-level models at SoC-level.
