WILSONVILLE, Ore., Oct. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor
Graphics® Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that Tanner
Eldo® RF is now an integral part of the Tanner™ analog/mixed-signal
(AMS) verification environment. Adding the proven and advanced
simulation capabilities of Eldo RF to the established Tanner design
and layout suite provides a comprehensive RF IC design solution for
building products targeting connected sensor and internet of things
(IoT) markets.
The Tanner Eldo RF tool provides proven RF verification for
wireless applications in the connected sensor and IoT markets by
employing a set of dedicated algorithms to accurately and
efficiently handle the low-power signals in these applications. The
tool provides a wide range of analysis capabilities, a set of
RF-dedicated functions, and a powerful set of optimization
algorithms suitable for various types of circuits. Analysis modes
include:
- Shooting Method/Periodic Steady State (PSS);
- Modulated Steady-State Analysis with RF/Baseband
Partitioning;
- Multi-Tone Steady-State Analysis (Harmonic Balance).
"Adding the advanced analysis capabilities of Eldo RF to the
Tanner IC design flow brings a highly capable solution to designers
of next-generation, low-cost, and low-power IoT devices, by
providing a robust and efficient design platform for TowerJazz's
leading-edge, specialty process technologies," stated Ori Galzur,
vice president of VLSI Design Center and Design Enablement at
TowerJazz®.
The Tanner IC design suite supports analog, mixed-signal, MEMS,
and now RF design in one complete, highly integrated, end-to-end
flow. Designers capture the schematic, perform analog and
mixed-signal simulation, and lay out the physical design within
this unified flow. With the addition of the Tanner Eldo RF
simulator, each designer using the IC flow can interactively invoke
the simulator in order to verify the design. A deep integration of
the tool includes the ability to:
- Run Tanner Eldo RF directly from the Tanner S-Edit™ schematic
capture tool;
- Display operating point results directly on the schematic;
- Directly specify simulation modes for RF analysis in the
Simulation Setup user interface;
- Cross-probe waveforms;
- View simulation results in the Tanner EZwave™ waveform
viewer.
"The next wave of IoT devices will demand highly-integrated and
differentiated products that combine MEMS, sensors, mixed-signal,
and RF. With Tanner Eldo RF, our customers will be perfectly
positioned to capitalize on this fast growing market," said
Greg Lebsack, general manager of
Tanner operations at Mentor Graphics.
