    • Spectre
    • Spectre-RF
    • Design for Manufacturability
  • NC-Sim Mixed-Language Simulator
    • Verilog
    • VHDL

The back end tools used for development and verification include:

  • Ambit - BuildGates (Synthesis)
  • Silicon Ensemble
    • Place & Route
    • Clock Tree Generator
  • Assura LVS/DRC/RCX
    • Layout vs. Schematic
    • Design Rule Checker
    • Parasitic Extractor
