Simucad acquired ownership all of Silvaco's simulation and CAD products and intellectual property.

Corporate

Simucad's headquarters are in Santa Clara, California. There are three other direct sales offices in North Chelmsford, MA, Austin, TX, Phoenix, AZ. International sales and distribution is handled through Silvaco's existing network of offices in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, Singapore, the UK, Germany, and France.

Products

The company supplies integrated EDA software in the areas of Analog/Mixed-Signal/RF, Custom IC CAD, Interconnect Modeling, and Digital CAD.

Analog/Mixed-Signal/RF

UTMOST III - SPICE Modeling Software. Generates SPICE models for analog, digital, mixed-signal, and RF applications. Used to perform data acquisition, device characterization, parameter extraction, and model verification.

UTMOST IV - Optimization Module. Provides a database-driven environment for the generation of SPICE models and macro-models for analog, mixed-signal and RF applications.

SPAYN - Statistical Parameter and Yield Analysis. Statistical modeling tool for analyzing variances from model parameter extraction sequences, electrical test routines, and circuit test measurements. Helps to identify the relationship between device or circuit performance variations and the underlying specific process fluctuations. SPAYN generates worst-case or “process corner” parameter sets and SPICE models reflecting variations in process parameters.

Gateway - Schematic Editor. Front-end of Simucad's Analog/Mixed Signal/RF IC Design Platform. Integrated with Simucad’s circuit simulation, layout, DRC/LVS/LPE, and parasitic extraction tools. Hierarchical editing features are available on Unix, Linux, and Windows.

SmartSpice - Analog Circuit Simulator. Used to design complex analog circuits, analyze critical nets, characterize cell libraries, and verify analog mixed-signal designs. Compatible with popular analog design flows and foundry-supplied device models.

Twister - Full-Chip Hierachical Analog Circuit Simulator. Runs 100M+ transistor circuits with parasitics, achieving 10X to 1000X speedup vs. traditional flat SPICE simulators, without the use of table-lookup models that cause accuracy and convergence problems typical of “fast-SPICE” simulators.

SmartSpiceRF - Harmonic Balance Based RF Simulator. Provides a set of steady-state large-signal analyses and measurements to design GHz range RF ICs driven with multi-tone sources. Simulates harmonic distortion, intermodulation products, gains, noise, oscillator’s phase noise in non-linear circuits using SPICE netlists.
