White Paper: Full-Flows Suite for both Custom Analog and Mixed-Signal Designs

Mentor Graphics: Abstract: The sudden demand for Internet of Things (IoT) creates unique requirements for a full flow, mixed-signal design environment that is affordable and easy to use, but powerful enough to create the widely diverse range of products needed for deployment of IoT. While a number of EDA tool providers offer software for AMS designs, such tools either come at high cost (low price-performance ratio) or are custom made point solutions requiring unwieldy amounts of data manipulation and manual integration. This white paper reviews an AMS IC design flow which offers a cohesive, integrated mixed-signal design suite that is ideally suited to IoT and project-based design with its extremely short cycle times and sensitivity to cost.
