Simulator for analog/mixed signal apps capable of virtual prototyping

Analog Devices launched ADIsimPE (personal edition) simulator for Linear and Mixed Signal applications capable of virtual prototyping for customers with limited resources and fast time-to-market requirements. ADIsimPE is powered by the SIMetrix/SIMPLIS simulator and utilizes SIMetrix SPICE for simulation of linear circuits, such as precision references, op amps and linear regulators, and SIMPLIS (SIMulation of Piecewise LInear Systems) for high speed analysis of non-linear circuits such as PLLs and switching power supplies – up to 50 times faster than the leading SPICE based simulators. The web-based ADIsimPower Design Center offers designers a complete, virtual evaluation ecosystem from customer requirements to solution based on a simple and quick 3-step design process aimed at reducing customer risk and dramatically improving time-to-market: Step1: Select the optimum solution based on efficiency, cost, area and component count. www.analog.com/ADIsimPower Step 2: Design and Optimise Using ADIsimPower downloadable tools. http://www.analog.com/en/power-management/products/cu_eval_pmp_tools/fca.html?sc=download Step3: Simulate and verify using ADIsimPE. www.analog.com/ADIsimPE The ADIsimPE simulator includes a library of validated Analog Devices IC models and proven application schematics which can be edited to meet user requirements.
