Increased Complexity in Semiconductor Designs: A Challenge for Simulators

31/07/2024

As semiconductor designs grow increasingly complex, the need for effective validation becomes paramount. Pradeep Thiagarajan, Principal Product Manager for Custom IC Verification at Siemens, highlights the significant challenges simulators face in keeping up with these advancements. To address these difficulties, Siemens introduces the Solido Simulation Suite (Solido Sim), a comprehensive solution designed to enhance the validation process.

The Solido Sim suite includes three innovative simulators: Solido SPICE, Solido Fast SPICE, and Solido LibSPICE, each tailored to optimize different aspects of circuit simulation. This suite operates alongside Siemens' established AFS platform, ELDO software, and Symphony software, creating a robust ecosystem for designers.

One of the standout features of Solido Sim is Solido Sim AI, the latest evolution of Siemens' AI-accelerated simulation technology. Originally developed by Solido Design Automation—acquired by Siemens in 2017—this advanced version leverages self-verifying algorithms, marking a significant breakthrough in circuit simulation methodology.

With Solido Sim AI, users can expect a notable enhancement in simulation speed without compromising on SPICE accuracy. Siemens claims this technology not only improves productivity but also brings a new level of precision to circuit validation, empowering engineers to navigate the complexities of modern semiconductor design more effectively.

As the semiconductor landscape continues to evolve, solutions like Solido Sim illustrate Siemens' commitment to providing cutting-edge tools that enable design teams to stay ahead of the curve.
