FREIBURG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2003--Concept
Engineering today announced the release of SpiceVision(TM) PRO, a
"turbo" version of SpiceVision, which in only a few months has become
the industry-standard interactive visualization tool for chip
designers who need to debug and analyze SPICE circuits and models.
Designers of complex digital, mixed signal and analog circuits --
which are prevalent in memory semiconductors, automotive, telecom,
consumer and medical electronics -- are avid users of SpiceVision.
Unlike SpiceVision, however, SpiceVision PRO is not limited to a
certain number of components.
In addition, SpiceVision PRO comes with 64-bit support, a new
high-speed database that accommodates larger designs and fast access
to pre-compiled designs, and a tcl-based UserWare application
programming interface (API) that enables users to customize the
product. For example, customers can write their own electrical rule
checkers (ERCs) and statistical reports, and create their own report
files based on analysis tasks that they have defined via UserWare.
"Many of our customers are increasing the size and complexity of
their designs and need higher capacity, speed and performance," said
Gerhard Angst, president and CEO of Concept Engineering. "SpiceVision
PRO offers this, along with the flexibility to create their own
UserWare functions, and a new GUI that will significantly enhance
their productivity."
SpiceVision PRO fits into any electronic design automation (EDA)
environment where SPICE design files are used to verify circuit
behavior. It produces clean, easy-to-read transistor-level schematics
from complex SPICE descriptions, helps engineers visualize the
parasitic effects within complex deep-submicron designs, and reduces
the design and debug time for engineers who work at the SPICE netlist
level. Using Concept Engineering's transistor-level schematic engine,
SpiceVision PRO generates schematics from pure SPICE connectivity
information.
SpiceVision PRO is available now for Solaris 32 and 64 bit
workstations from Sun, as well as 32 bit HPUX, Linux, and Windows
workstations.
