SANTA CLARA, CA /BUSINESS WIRE/ -- Berkeley Design Automation Inc., provider of the world's fastest nanometer circuit verification, announced that Teledyne Scientific & Imaging, LLC, a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Inc., has selected the company's Analog FastSPICE (AFS) platform for block-level characterization and full-circuit verification of its image sensor designs.
"Teledyne Imaging Sensors designs and produces some of the most advanced focal plane arrays, sensors, and subsystems, covering a broad spectrum of light," said Jagmohan Bajaj, President, Teledyne Imaging Sensors. "We selected the AFS Platform because it provides nanometer SPICE accuracy 5 to 10 times faster than traditional SPICE on a single core and full-spectrum device noise analysis for our image sensor designs."
The Analog FastSPICE platform provides the world's fastest circuit verification for nanometer analog, RF, mixed-signal, and custom digital circuits. Foundry-certified to 20 nm, the AFS platform delivers nanometer SPICE accuracy 5 to 10 times faster on a single core and more than 2 times faster on multicore systems versus any other simulator. For circuit characterization, the AFS platform includes the industry's only comprehensive silicon-accurate device noise analysis and delivers near-linear performance scaling with the number of cores. For large circuits, it delivers "more than 10M-element capacity, the fastest near-SPICE-accurate simulation, and the fastest, most accurate mixed-signal simulation." Available licenses include AFS circuit simulation, AFS Transient Noise Analysis, AFS RF Analysis, AFS Co-Simulation, and AFS Nano SPICE.
"We are delighted that Teledyne selected the Analog FastSPICE Platform for the verification of its innovative imaging products," said Ravi Subramanian, President and CEO of Berkeley Design Automation. "Teledyne's selection further validates that Berkeley Design Automation is an essential partner to leading-edge companies, designing a wide variety of imaging sensors applications."
