Analog FastSPICE (AFS)

The industry’s fastest nanometer circuit verification platform for analog, RF, mixed-signal and custom digital circuits

Foundry certified accuracy

Circuit Designers face stringent circuit verification and noise analysis, and safety requirements for their precision high-performance analog and mixed-signal IP.

With foundry-certified accuracy, AFS delivers nanometer SPICE accuracy > 5x faster than traditional SPICE and > 2x faster than parallel SPICE simulators.  For large post-layout circuits, the new AFS eXTreme technology delivers over 100M-element capacity and >3x faster than post-layout simulators.

More than 175 companies use the AFS Platform for their toughest circuit verification challenges, including high-speed I/Os, PLLs, ADCs/DACs, CMOS image sensors, RFICs, and embedded memory.
