The software developer Cadence Design Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability ofSPECTRE 23.10.063is an advanced circuit simulator that simulates analog and digital circuits at the differential equation level.

Here is a listing of some of the important updates made in the SPECTRE 23.1 release.
Using GPU with Spectre X
Spectre X now supports NVIDIA’s GPU platform. Target applications are long transient simulations of large, advanced nodes and post-layout designs that require high accuracy. The solution is expected to provide the same accuracy as Spectre X on CPU only. Since the Spectre X GPU solution is limited release in Spectre 23.1, contact your Cadence Customer Support team to evaluate the GPU solution.
Spectre FMC
This release introduces Spectre FMC Analysis (Fast Monte Carlo Analysis), a technology to perform high sigma monte carlo analysis for design space exploration. Spectre FMC Analysis deploys an advanced ML-based algorithm to accelerate high-sigma yield estimation and finding of worst samples. It targets 3-6 sigma analyses of analog, RF, and memory blocks as well as I/O and standard cells. It identifies the worst-case monte carlo samples for a user-specified sigma and provides yield information. Compared to the brute-force monte carlo analysis, Spectre FMC Analysis provides a significant speed boost since much fewer samples need to be analyzed. The Spectre FMC solution is available in Spectre, Virtuoso ADE Suite, Liberate MX Trio, and Tempus flows.
Enhancements in Spectre RF
–Distributed Processing Support for RF Shooting Analysis:Distributed single shooting PSS simulation is now supported. This feature is useful for designs that need large memory and cannot be run on a single machine as it lets you use cores from different machines when the required number of cores is not available on one machine. It supports PSS and small-signal analyses pac, pnoise, pxf, and pstb for both driven, and oscillator circuits.
–Distributed Processing Support for Aging Analysis:In addition to the performance and memory enhancements, the aging analysis has been enhanced to support distributed XDP simulation by using the +xdp option.
Enhancements in Legato Fault Simulation
–Layout-based Fault Simulation:A new parameter, faultlayer, has been added to info analysis to enable layout-based fault generation.
–Functional safety diagnostic metrics report generation:A new command-line option, +fsa, has been added to automatically save the functional safety report.
Spectre FX Enhancements
–Integration with AMS Designer (Xcelium AMS flow):The Spectre FX simulator can be enabled in Cadence’s Xcelium AMS Designer by using a command-line option or through the Virtuoso ADE Suite.
–Support for EMIR analysis and reliability aging analysis:The Spectre FX simulator now supports EM-IR analysis in direct and iterated modes. It also supports reliability aging analysis.
Spectre EM-IR with Voltus-XFi
The Spectre EM-IR Voltus-XFi technology is enabled with the +emirpreset command-line option that predefines all the first- and second-stage EM-IR settings. It provides a simplified iterated method use model and allows a tradeoff between accuracy and performance.
New Help Viewer
Spectre 23.1 introduces a new help viewer, Doc Assistant, which is a cloud-based, smart document viewer.
Doc Assistant provides:
– Easy-to-browse wide range of content
– Intelligent topic-based search capabilities
– Quick access to related search result information
– User experience personalization features
– Content updates independent of release vehicles
Doc Assistant can be used in two network modes, Online and Offline. If you are connected to the Internet and have a valid Cadence license, Doc Assistant is automatically launched in Online mode. If you are not connected to the Internet, the tool is launched in Offline mode.
To access the product documentation using Doc Assistant, navigate to the/bin directory and type ‘cda’ in the command line to launch Doc Assistant. When you launch Doc Assistant in standalone mode, the home page of Doc Assistant is displayed. The home page lists multiple tiles that indicate various topic types or document categories, for example concept, task, and reference topics. You can also search for specific documents by typing relevant keywords in the search bar.
As the industry’s leading solution for accurate analog simulation, theCadence Spectre Simulation Platformcontains multiple solvers to allow a designer to move easily and seamlessly between circuit-, block-, and system-level simulation tasks. The foundation of the platform is a unified set of technologies shared by all of the SPICE engines-the parser, device models, Verilog-A behavioral modeling, input data formats, output data formats, etc.-thereby guaranteeing consistent and accurate evaluation methods regardless of the simulator selected.
The simulator uses improved algorithms that offer increased simulation speed and greatly improved convergence characteristics over SPICE. Besides the basic capabilities, the Spectre circuit simulator provides significant additional capabilities over SPICE. Verilog-A uses functional description text files (modules) to model the behavior of electrical circuits and other systems. Spectre RF Simulation option adds several new analyses that support the efficient calculation of the operating point, transfer function, noise, and distortion of common RF and communication circuits, such as mixers, oscillators, sample holds, and switched-capacitor filters.
Cadence technology platforms, including Xcelium Logic Simulation, Liberate Trio Characterization Suite, Legato Reliability Solution, Virtuoso ADE Product Suite, Voltus-Fi Custom Power Integrity Solution, and the Virtuoso RF Solution, to provide the industry’s most comprehensive cross-domain simulation solutionThe Spectre Simulation Platform delivers an indus-try-leading set of technologies for a comprehensive design and verification solution that provides SPICE, radio frequency (RF), FastSPICE, and mixed-signal simulators in a unique shared licensing package. This unified solution delivers scalable performance and capacity, thus providing robust verification of analog, RF, memory, custom digital, and mixed-signal silicon realization.
