Use realistic worst-case corners in design - Typical corner modeling is problematic, particularly for analog design. Circuit Surfer® can be used in statistical flows that take advantage of physically meaningful worst-case corners which eliminate physically non-sensible correlations. Using Circuit Surfer® with statistical models, designers and process/modeling engineers can agree on the level of verification (e.g. 3, 4, 5, or 6-sigma) and verify those in simulation based on physically meaningful data.
Seamless integration into design flows - Circuit Surfer® provides native integration to the Cadence analog design environment, enabling an easy learning curve in a familiar setting.
Computational efficiency - The Design of Experiments and Response Surface Models implemented in Circuit Surfer® lead to faster run times that achieve more accurate results than simple Monte Carlo approaches.
Patented mismatch algorithm - Circuit Surfer® employs an efficient method to simulate mismatch with a large number of devices. The software identifies critical devices for mismatch and ranks them for designers.
Supports patented PDF Solutions PCM methodology - Circuit Surfer® enables product parametric yield loss diagnosis based on PCM production test data, for rapid resolution of parametric yield loss issues in production.
