Jedat Inc. (headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, president & CEO: Kazuyuki Kawauchi, "Jedat")(JASDAQ:3841) today announced to provide a high accuracy and high speed circuit simulator "Cforce" for custom/analog LSI design.
The outstanding feature of Cforce, originally developed based on Jedat's leading-edge simulation technology, is high speed performance and large scale processing. Cforce's advanced circuit simulation engine with multi-threading technology enables increased speed, accuracy and capacity, allowing users to reduce design and verification costs as they make smaller, faster.
Due to the balance of speed, accuracy, and cost, Cforce provides a high cost performance while maintaining the accuracy and compatibility with third-party simulators, enabling customers to obtain a cost performance of 20 - 30X by just replacing the circuit simulators that are currently in use.
Technology Features:
- Easy integration into existing flows by its guaranteed compatibility with third-party simulators
- Integrated with C3(CircuitCube) circuit design environment
- Increases simulation accuracy with proprietary high accuracy solver
- Pseudo-transient analysis method makes possible high convergence
- Best-in-class performance (2 to 3X faster than third-party simulators)
- Multithread technology increases performance and shortens verification period
- Supports industry-standard netlist formats
- Standard output formats for data analysis
- Ensures compatibility with third-party simulators for I/O format, main analysis feature, model, and analysis result
- Supports Verilog-A (Verilog-AMS LRMV2.2)
- Performs DC, transient, AC and Monte Carlo analysis
Examples of Effective Circuit Verification Approaches by Cforce's high performance engine:
- Exhaustive variability verification technique for circuit characteristics
By executing parallel verification using a large amount of simulators, it allows designers to analyze circuits by a sufficient combination of PVT conditions not only corner PVT conditions to obtain a more accurate analysis results
- Analysis engine for commercial optimization tools
