Berkeley Design Automation to Present Paper with Analog Bits and Exhibit at the TSMC 2012 Open Innovation Platform® Forum

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Berkeley Design Automation, Inc., provider of the world’s fastest nanometer circuit verification, today announced that the company will be co-presenting two papers and exhibiting at the TSMC 2012 Open Innovation Platform (OIP) Ecosystem Forum.

WHO: Berkeley Design Automation, Inc.

WHAT: Paper on EDA/IP/Services Track and Exhibit

14:30 – 15:00 - Design Methodology for Silicon-Accurate Jitter Analysis for 28nm Interface IP for 100GB Applications, by Berkeley Design Automation & Analog Bits

Exhibit: Berkeley Design Automation will highlight how its AFS Platform provides the world’s fastest circuit verification for nanometer analog, RF, mixed-signal, and custom digital circuits. Foundry certified to 20nm, and adopted by over 100 customers worldwide, the AFS Platform delivers nanometer SPICE accuracy 5x-10x faster on a single core and >2x faster on multicore systems versus any other simulator. For circuit characterization, the AFS Platform includes the industry’s only comprehensive silicon-accurate device noise analysis and delivers near-linear performance scaling with the number of cores. For large circuits, it delivers >10M-element capacity, the fastest near-SPICE-accurate simulation, and the fastest, most accurate mixed-signal simulation.

WHERE: San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, CA, Booth # 215

WHEN: Tuesday, October 16th, 2012
