PrimeSim HSPICE circuit simulator is the industry's "gold standard" for accurate circuit simulation and offers foundry-certified MOS device models with state-of-the-art simulation and analysis algorithms. With over 25 years of successful design tape outs, HSPICE is the industry's most trusted and comprehensive circuit simulator. For on-chip simulation, analog designs, RF design, custom digital design, standard cell design and characterization, memory design and characterization, and device model development. For off-chip signal integrity simulation, silicon-to-package-to-board-to-backplane analysis and simulation. HSPICE is a key part of the Synopsys analog/mixed-signal (AMS) verification suite, a solution built to address the most critical issues in AMS verification. HSPICE is the industry’s “gold standard” for accurate circuit simulation and offers foundry-certified MOS device models with state-of-the-art simulation and analysis algorithms.

Today’s electronic designs are becoming increasingly complex, making it harder to detect errors that generate high costs and hundreds of work hours. Detecting these errors in advance can be instrumental in preventing these damages. Unfortunately, in many cases, these errors are discovered only in the testing phase or at the customer’s site. BQR’s CircuitHawk is a powerful and unique (patent based) design error detection and stress analysis tool for electrical circuits. CircuitHawk detects design errors during the design phase, before layout and production. This way, no schematic, connectivity or stress errors are found in the qualification tests during final verification. CircuitHawk shortens design cycles and time to market, which in turn saves a lot of money and helps bolster corporate reputation. CircuitHawk is the only tool integrating design error detection with electrical stresses, thermal, MTBF and service life prediction at the schematic level, before PCB layout and production.

Companies today are faced with complex design challenges and tight budgets. eCADSTAR is more than a PCB layout tool with simulation, 3D MCAD integration, and wire harness support all built on the latest technology for enterprise-level performance at an affordable cost. The modern intuitive UI makes eCADSTAR a compelling solution for all designers. Leverage eCADSTAR’s design capabilities to simplify and accelerate the design process. With the digitally connected library, intuitive schematic capture, and tools to accelerate PCB layout engineers spend less time manipulating the tool and more time doing what they do best, innovate creative solutions for today’s technological challenges. One of the most time-consuming parts of the design process is the test plan. The validation process can be costly in terms of time and money without adequate upfront simulation. eCADSTAR’s capabilities in Spice simulation and SI/PI analysis delivers test cycle time reductions.
