Analysis

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. Magma’s Quartz™ analysis products work in conjunction with the Talus IC implementation platform to automatically analyze and fix sources of timing, power, noise and variation problems, and more.

• 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.
• Quartz Rail integrates power analysis and planning, voltage-drop analysis, voltage-drop-induced delay analysis and electromigration analysis on rail wires and vias, enabling designers to maintain power integrity in their designs.
• Quartz RC is a 3D full-chip parasitic extractor that provides a correct-by-construction flow with the accuracy of QuickCap®.
• Quartz Time provides sign-off verification for timing and noise. It includes concurrent multi-mode, multi-corner and on-chip variation analysis, ECSM support, multi-voltage and IR-drop-induced delay analysis, E netlist generation and reduction, and a new 3D graphics viewer.
• 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.
