Hogan says retooling underway for custom 2.0
January 14, 2013
The “Custom 1.0” era began around 1980 and has had a run for over three decades. The early SPICE engines were mostly close cousins with UC Berkeley SPICE and ran on mainframes. Cadence Analog Artist was the first successful commercial solution for Custom 1.0, tying schematics to simulation and annotating simulation results to the schematic. Analog Artist has evolved to become Cadence Analog Design Environment (ADE) and still dominates the market today.
The time has come to re-architect both the environment and the simulators to meet the challenges confronting custom design today. The semiconductor industry is now facing a major retooling for “Custom 2.0” for 2013 and beyond.
