Variation-aware design and verification for memory, analog/RF, and standard cell
Solido™ Variation Designer™ software is the industry’s most advanced variation-aware design solution, used by top semiconductor companies and foundries.
Utilising machine learning, it delivers unprecedented speed, accuracy, and variation coverage.
To meet specifications and to stay competitive in designing the best-performing quality chip, designers need to perform extensive SPICE simulations to account for all the potential design variation. Variation Designer enables full design coverage in orders-of-magnitude fewer simulations, but with the accuracy of brute force techniques.
