Solido Simulation Suite

“We are pioneering CMOS image sensor technology, driving innovation across industries from automotive to cinematography. Verification of high-resolution, high-frame rate sensors is challenging due to the sheer size of the extracted post-layout netlist which presents a bottleneck in terms of simulation run time. Siemens’ Solido Simulation Suite provided us with SPICE and FastSPICE toolsets that demonstrated up-to 19x faster across our analog and memory designs. This enables us to accelerate our verification schedules significantly, while empowering us to expand our roadmap with more innovative design solutions for our customers.”

“We are at the forefront of creating flexible and multi-functional foundation I/Os, enabling contemporary chips to seamlessly adapt to different markets, interfaces, voltages, and standards using a single I/O design. Our customers span across automotive, industrial, AI, consumer electronics, datacenter and networking applications, with consistent new design requirements spanning mature to advanced process technologies, and we pride ourselves on being the best partner for our customers to create I/O libraries that enable and differentiate their products, giving them a market edge, with the best performing ESD, against their competition. After a thorough evaluation of industry simulators, we chose Solido Simulation Suite. The decision was rooted in the consistent realization of up to 30X speed-up with golden accuracy, translating to substantial savings in simulation cycles. This collaboration empowered us to successfully implement silicon verified designs for high-voltage RF applications and introduce robust multi-protocol I/O solutions, showcasing adaptability and efficacy in advanced process nodes.”

"As a provider of top-tier silicon intellectual property for high-performance clocking and low-power/high-speed data interfaces, our products play a crucial role in modern SoCs. The complexity of designing at 5nm and below, coupled with slow post-layout simulations, due to very high device counts, poses major challenges. Fast and accurate simulation of GAA and FinFET process technology-based designs is imperative to meet our end-customers’ demanding requirements and schedules. In our active participation in the early access program for Solido™ Simulation Suite, using various post-layout designs, we observed an impressive acceleration of up to 11X while preserving SPICE-level accuracy. We look forward to leveraging Solido Simulation Suite to validate our most complex designs, ensuring first silicon success and meeting our high-yield targets."
