Nassda Corp. (Nasdaq:NSDA), Santa Clara, Calif., has announced that Virtual Silicon Technology has adopted Nassda's HSIM(TM) hierarchical full-chip circuit simulator and analysis tool for its memory IP development flow.
"As developers of memory IP for complex SoC designs, we needed a verification tool that could provide us with the SPICE accuracy, work at over 500X speed of SPICE, and handle our largest memories," stated Craig Thrower, director of memory product engineering with Virtual Silicon. "HSIM is the only circuit simulator we have tried that provides the speed, accuracy and capacity for full-chip analysis of leakage and power. We have worked closely with Nassda to integrate HSIM into our power characterization flow and we now have the optimal circuit simulator for our rigorous design and quality needs. Our customers benefit by getting lower power, higher- performance and smaller memories. Nassda's tremendous customer support has been invaluable in helping us...
