“I founded Dolphin Technology with the singular purpose of delivering high quality, high-performance, fab-verified silicon-IP in a fraction of the time and cost of in-house development,” said Mo Tamjidi, CEO of Dolphin Technology. “We need a SPICE simulator that can keep pace with the increasing complexity of our IP. With FineSim SPICE we can achieve remarkably fast simulation runtimes and improve utilization, which allows us to reduce time to market while improving IP quality.”
“Dolphin Technology’s IP is used by world-leading semiconductor and telecommunication companies that demand fast turnaround time, high performance and low power,” said Anirudh Devgan, general manager of Magma’s Custom Design Business Unit. “Offering fast, accurate multi-CPU simulation, FineSim SPICE is uniquely able to help Dolphin Technology meet and beat customer requirements.”
FineSim SPICE: Fast and Accurate Simulation
FineSim SPICE is a SPICE-level simulation analysis tool that incorporates transistor-level simulation analysis capabilities for mixed-signal and analog designs. FineSim SPICE is a full SPICE simulation engine with distributed processing that enables customers to simulate large-scale mixed-signal system chips at the transistor level. By providing increased speed and capacity while maintaining full SPICE accuracy, FineSim SPICE enables designers to simulate advanced circuits – such as PLLs, ADCs (analog-to-digital converters), DACs (digital-to-analog converters) and gigahertz SERDES (SERializer/DESerializer) – that they previously would not even attempt using slower traditional SPICE simulators.
